Adam was injured at work and cannot return to his original position. What will the WSIB do?

• A. Provide wage replacement benefits.
• B. Arrange alternate employment within the same company.
• C. Offer vocational training.
• D. Prepare a labour market re-entry plan for Adam.

Answer: (D)

When a worker can’t go back to their original job, the WSIB focuses on helping them re-enter the labour market through a formal plan. They prepare a labour market re-entry plan that lays out steps to return to work, which may include assessing transferable skills, identifying suitable training or education, arranging job search support, and outlining potential changes in occupation or accommodations. This plan provides a structured path with clear goals and responsibilities for the worker, the employer, and WSIB, guiding all related actions. While wage replacement and other supports can continue as part of the process, the key action here is creating a formal labour market re-entry plan to navigate the next steps toward re-entry into work.
