Ontario’s Workplace Safety and Insurance Board to send rebates in February 2025

The Ontario government is keeping costs down for workers and businesses by giving back more than $2.5 billion by rebating Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) surpluses to hundreds of thousands of safe employers, reducing business premium rates and investing in keeping workers healthy and safe. 

Ontario is putting more money back into workers’ pockets, keeping costs down for safe businesses and investing in health and safety by: 

• -  Returning $2 billion in surplus funds to Ontario businesses through the WSIB thanks to the agency’s new approach to strong financial management. 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 Workplace Safety and Insurance Act or Occupational Health and Safety Act since 2020.
