Modified work helps an injured worker return to work while recovering. Thousands of employees utilize this approach each year. The Occupational Injury Service is a program designed for people who are hurt at work. This voluntary program helps employers and employees by providing injured workers with fast access to medical services at special clinics. They say this program can reduce your premiums.

The job training on the job program is an incentive for employers to receive financial assistance for employee training in certain situations where the injured employee is unable to return to their original position.

Performance and costs can be managed via the WCB online service where they say you can do a number of things including monitor and review your claim costs, review your claim history and thereby identify safety issues, understand what the effect on your rates might be if your performance were to improve and access information specific to your account.

All these services are attempts to manage the costs of being an employer.
