Can an employer respond to the proposed administrative penalty?
In most cases, the employer is invited to submit information, evidence, or comments relevant to the administrative penalty decision once they have been notified of a proposed penalty. WorkSafeBC will consider the employer’s response when determining whether to proceed with an administrative penalty and, if the decision is to proceed, whether to change the amount of the proposed penalty. WorkSafeBC may also conduct further investigation based on the employer’s response.
