Bertha MacGregor, Phone 262-2025 By JACK RID▪ DELL, MPP In the last- week of the legislative session, the Minister of Labour tabled in the House a White Paper which proposed major changes to Ontario's system of workmen's compensation. These changes are intended to compensate injured workers more accurately and fairly for actual income loss. The Minister's proposal would also make provision for a more elaborate appeal and review structure to handle decisions of the Workmen's Compensation Board. These proposed amend- ments arise from a wide- ranging review of the existing system which was conducted last year by Harvard University Professor Paul Weiler. In January 1980, Professor Weiler was asked by the nada?, Jack's Jottings Compensation Minister of Labour to un- dertake a comprehensive review of the current system, of the schedule of benefits, and the operation of the Workmen's Com- pensation Board. His report was delivered in November 1980, and was entitled "Re -shaping Workers' Compensation for Ontario". It recommended major revisions to the benefit structure and ad- judicative system. The second phase of the enquiry is soon to com- mence, and Professor Weiler will be taking a longer -range view of the compensation problems associated with industrial disease, the ad- vantages and disadvantages of moving to a universal plan for guaranteeing against loss of income from personal injuries, whether work related or not, existing administrative and func- tional relations between the Workmen's Compensation Board and the Ministry of Labour, and other related matters. Included in the White Paper is a proposed for the abolition of automatic compensation for permanent injury, regardless of actual TRUST COMPANY GUARANTEED CERTIFICATES AVAILABLE Representing many trust com- panies, highest rates usually available.

It i proposed, instead, that a injured worker should be paid a lump sum as com pt;nsation for the injur `sustained, followed by periodic payments based o any actual wage lasses. The maximum lump -s payment would b equivalent to the coin pensable earnings ceiling used to calculate wage -loss benefits. At the present time, there is a fixed ceiling of $18,500. Under the new proposals, this would be replaced by a ceiling calculated at 250 per cent of the average industral wage in Ontario. Last year, such a formula would have yielded a $40,000 ceiling. The White Paper proposed that the Workmen's Com- pensation Board should be given the power to discon- tinue the periodic payments for wage losses sustained due to permanent injury in the event that an individual refuses to accept work deemed suitable by the Board. As the Minister of Labour has explained, the Board would need to have this authority in order to ensure that those people who are able to work do so, even if the work involved is not related to their previous occupation The proposed system of a lump sum payment, plus periodic payments based upon actual wage losses would eliminate the so-called "meat chart" approach, under which everyone is assessed at the same degree of impairment, based on the injury itself rather than on the impact of the injury upon the individual's earning capacity. Married workers with dependents would receive higher temporary cnm- pensation benefits than single workers under the new scheme since such benefits would be based upon 90 per cent of net earnings, rather than the current 75 per cent of gross earnings. Combined with the $18,500 ceiling, the current '75 per- cent of gross earnings for- mula yields maximum benefits of S7,500 a year. Employers would be obliged to maintain fringe benefits and 12 months for injured workers receiving total disability benefits and would have to offer available re-employment to injured workers or face increased assessment costs. Wage -loss benefits for permanent in- juries would no longer be paid until the worker's death, but would be replaced at age 65 with retirement income loss benefits, in an effort to keep compensation more closely aligned with actual income loss. Coverage would also be extended to domestic em- ployees. The $335 million cost of the increases will be met from employer contributions to the accident fund. In the White Paper, the Minister of Labour requested that written comments be received no later than August 31st, 1981, s n y n um e t Deaf people give performance Bank accountant goes to Strathroy Mr. John Jacques, accoun- tant at the local Bank of Montreal, has been transferred to the Bank of Montreal at Strathroy and commenced his duties there this week.
