Appeal Process
Workers or employers can file for an appeal if they do not agree with a decision made by an adjudicator.
There is a two-level appeal process with YWCHSB:
1st level: Hearing Officer
2nd level: Workers' Compensation Appeal Tribunal
To find out more about the appeal procedures, you can call the appeals assistant at 867-667-5645 or toll free 1-800-661-0443. More information is also available on our website: Worker Information – Reviews and Appeals.
Assistance is also available from the Workers' Advocate. The advocate can explain decisions made under the Workers' Compensation Act and the regulations and policies of the YWCHSB.
