Report fraud and non-compliance

Fraud and non-compliance occurs when people or organizations—like employers, workers, or healthcare providers—break the rules of the workers’ compensation system, which can make the system unfair or less effective.

If you suspect fraud or non-compliance report it to the WCB.

Examples of fraud and non-compliance

By employers:

Failing to report workplace injuries within five business days.
Discouraging or preventing a worker from making a WCB claim.
Retaliating against a worker for exercising their WCB rights.
Not registering with the WCB or providing inaccurate payroll information.

By workers:

Exaggerating injury severity.
Returning to work without notifying the WCB.
Providing false information to obtain WCB benefits.

By healthcare providers:

Overbilling or double billing the WCB.
