Policy 31.05.10- Schedule "D" - Rehabilitation Program Expenditures

Preventive Rehabilitation

Where preventive rehabilitation is provided, the accident employer will receive cost relief for the costs attributable to the preventive rehabilitation measures.

Cost relief will be charged to the Cost Apportionment Fund and allocated to the broadest logical group that shares the risk which gives rise to the need for preventive vocational rehabilitation.

Vocational Rehabilitation Job Placements

Where a worker has been placed in an active transitional program (training on the job, work assessment, work experience) where full or partial salary is subsidized by the WCB, and a new accident occurs, the costs of the new accident will be eligible for cost relief.

Where a worker has been placed in a permanent position with a new employer covered by the WCB, and the new employer is paying the worker's full salary, the cost of any new accident will be the sole responsibility of the new employer.
 

Training

Where a worker suffers an accident in a trade school or other type of formal training program sponsored by the WCB, the costs of the new accident will be eligible for cost relief.

Cost relief provided under items 2 and 3 above will be charged to the Cost Apportionment Fund and allocated to the class of the accident employer.
