Eligible employers will receive their one-time rebate starting in February 2025 if they are a safe employer, which includes not having been convicted more than once under the&nbsp;<em>Workplace Safety and Insurance Act<\/em>&nbsp;or&nbsp;<em>Occupational Health and Safety Act<\/em>&nbsp;since 2020. For a small construction business with 50 employees, this could mean receiving $46,000 to reinvest in new jobs, enhanced health and safety programs and bigger paycheques.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cutting the average premium rate for Ontario businesses from $1.30 to $1.25 per $100 of insurable payroll through the WSIB starting in 2025, without reducing benefits. This is the lowest rate in half a century and will save Ontario businesses about $150 million annually starting in 2025 when compared to the 2024 rate. Over the past decade, the WSIB has cut the average premium rate by more than 50 per cent, resulting in cumulative savings for businesses of approximately $18.6 billion since 2017.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Unlocking $400 million to invest in health and safety programs for workers and employers developed by the WSIB, focusing on mental health, preventative and chronic injury care and recovery to ensure workers have the supports they need to return to work safely and quickly. This will include expanding the WSIB\u2019s mental health care programming to partner with 11 public hospitals and their networks of community-based service providers across Ontario to ensure workers have the care they need, when and where they need it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Removing the $150 fee for apprentices taking their first&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/u32956855.ct.sendgrid.net\/ls\/click?upn=u001.2IfI6TxC8-2FSlD5Hi-2FcHX93HLrNNndYBnEJ4ZgvvE-2BJqM6bA1NyA1A73izfYec3xiu9KHslfc72-2FpKl9-2BD1khkjyBqHIaRXaI1gXOPHBvNLWIfjg-2BLjqWeH8oAcZFv3U-2BjnFG4wGr56Lw-2BjF9mX2lyJs9ITTxHwXXpE5awNcsO0trehHjb8-2BdXS0e5VYIDeeWQO29wqSqP1Y3PKex2q1pRdWpYHuuXkcRsj7Z-2FzC2owCH07gnJY8LcDnBpQ9cqPXG4FfHavXx84Gr1SnyvNYb8yPncVRmA3IMkiicBmUDxs88-2BhgrR6-2FZmbVG1Tzf0QTmwMetjgCjvKLLw2NL6K9MD9Vth1QIbheuQy9YYF7kgg4tzw-2FTVpT-2FUsKdz27FTxWf1y2I_8At0USQ8YCYddhYRg89w4l0Z2qA-2BoDsF2ayCqMnvPanRG-2Fb-2BZ0lv8tmwsp9JqbOw3q5CjNVPp5mt5fo9TA01PlpLwGfx-2FGl1xmEa2TzxqYUT9JxEa3zykw6hJzVeV6zTmBDRW6hjRxHAGdH5c8p5pbil8c5-2BDkkvIDtfh-2FVdCQxxvmzMVPqRzjqXhJst0-2BHyfEN7rE-2BEwQti4arpixi-2Fp6aP3vSfLFuH6NehW-2FhL5WtJ07hKLi43-2FQxcAXdnrjBqwwrLdOgKnlNU1YdxOnG-2BiWZPYxD5VJRkJw4vKSvXRG8Z7VjQ8DSwKlRXs2TFk2i-2BcXRzDo-2FUpEADDnej1EH9izDkv6gywIDUKyPo2nZn5gmi4s4PuAHsIwmR1Lh5q1pS6aUd1nHZ-2FB8ngyVJDpEx1Rbl3Ui-2BImDteK4rKWeBYWo-3D\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Certificate of Qualification<\/a>&nbsp;exam, making it easier for more people to start their career in the skilled trades.

Our government recognizes that by putting more money back into workers\u2019 pockets and promoting the trades as a viable career, we are building a stronger workforce. Keeping costs down for businesses and investing in workers\u2019 occupational and mental health is key to building a stronger Ontario for everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These changes are part of a larger package that will expand on the ground-breaking actions introduced in the five previous Working for Workers Acts since 2021, which will be unveiled in the coming weeks to grow Ontario\u2019s workforce, keep costs down for workers and businesses and support the well-being of workers and their families. These changes are another way the government is building a brighter future for all Ontarians and ensuring our province remains the best place to live, work and raise a family.<\/p>\n\n\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sign up <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/dont-miss-out-on-doppler\/\"><u>here<\/u><\/a> to receive our email digest with links to our most recent stories.<br \/>\nLocal news in your inbox so you don&#8217;t miss anything!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"background: #5cb85c url('https:\/\/d1iczxrky3cnb2.cloudfront.net\/red_logo.png') no-repeat 37px; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; padding: 15px 38px; padding-left: 75px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 #1f5a89; text-shadow: 0 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/support-huntsville-doppler\">Click here to support local news<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><br><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From the Province of Ontario The Ontario government announced last week that it is keeping costs down for workers and businesses by giving back&nbsp;over $2.5 billion by rebating&nbsp;Workplace Safety and [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1904,"featured_media":181718,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-181717","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
