Please join me in enforcing Section 13 (1) and (2) of the WHSC Act, 2022.

13. (1) The Lieutenant-Governor in Council may appoint an auditor to audit the accounts of the commission and the remuneration of the auditor shall be paid by the commission.

(2) The auditor general shall audit the accounts of the commission whenever the auditor general considers it expedient to

do SO.

The commission is LONG overdue for a financial audit!  I am questioning if there ever has been an audit completed since 1983 (the year I believe the commission was formed).  If there has never been one, why would the government and employers allow this body to run this long without financial accountability in the form of a professional, legal audit?  

Please help get this done!  This will help lower costs to the employers in the long run and help ensure injured workers are not submitting internal reviews unnecessarily which cost money that should not be needed!  Every unnecessary review costs extreme amounts of money!  Every unnecessary review that proves the fault was the commission further cost interest payments to be paid to the injured worker!  

According to the Newfoundland and Labrador Employers Commission WorkplaceNL has the second highest most expensive compensation system in the country!  I understand why.  It is because the system spends WAY to much time fixing mistakes, not replacing employees who lie about making decisions using medical proof they were never given, medical negligence lawsuits, recording unnecessary information which makes it longer and more difficult to use facts that are buried in amongst the unnecessary information, and passing a file from one employee to another.  These ALL cost EXTRA money and that EXTRA cost WILL BE PLACED ON THE EMPLOYERS AS IF IT IS THEIR FAULT.  AND the extra UNNECESSARY costs are using funds that should be used to ENSURE injured workers are legally compensated.

Let's work together to FIX THIS SYSTEM!  And MAKE THE COMMISSION EXACTLY WHAT IS WAS MEANT TO BE! 

God Bless you ALL!
