Can an employer appeal a penalty after it has been imposed?
An employer can ask the Review Division of WorkSafeBC to review a penalty within 90 days of the decision to impose the penalty. The review may be in the form of “read and review” or an oral hearing. When the Review Division has completed the review, it will notify the employer of its decision. If the employer is unsatisfied with this decision, the employer can appeal further to the Workers Compensation Appeal Tribunal (WCAT). A notice of appeal must be filed within 30 days of the Review Division’s decision.
