Are you ready for WSIB MANDATORY COVERAGE under the new Bill 119?
As
you probably know, there are major changes occurring January 1, 2013 with
respect to Bill 119 – WSIB coverage for construction industry.
All
workers, including independent operators and corporate owners must be registered
and will be subject to WSIB. There is exemption for one corporate owner
if they do NO
construction related work - no supervision, never on a job site not even
to deliver a screwdriver! The exempted owner is required to register as
such with WSIB to qualify.
This
comes into effect January 1, 2013 and all penalties, interest etc will apply
for non-compliance effective then. They allow one year grace before any
prosecution occurs – and
that
will be done through the Provincial Court systems!
So
in short – no worker on a job site EVER, without first getting a clearance
certificate for that worker. NO exceptions.
Those
workers who are presently independent operators will now be required to
register as such with WSIB before January 2013.
