General Information

The Workers' Compensation Act requires that members of the Board consider the decision of the Appeal Tribunal and whether they have properly applied Board policies or whether the Appeal Tribunal failed to comply with the provisions of the Act or regulations.

The members of the Board recognize the time constraints contained in Section 19.1 of the Workers' Compensation Act, that the Board must either implement a decision of a Hearing Officer or an Appeal Tribunal within 30 days or provide the Hearing Officer or Appeal Tribunal with an implementation plan within 30 days from the date of the decision of the Hearing Officer or Appeal Tribunal (the "decision").
