With some added resources, injured workers on Prince Edward Island will soon see reduced wait times for appeals to their claims.
The resources have been made available to the Office of the Worker Advisor – which is part of the Department of Workforce and Advanced Learning’s Labour and Industrial Relations division.
If an injured worker is not satisfied with a decision of the Workers Compensation Board, they can get advice and information from the worker advisor.
Workforce and Advanced Learning Minister Sonny Gallant says that with these additional resources, they’ll be able to support a record number of hearings this year.
