The Ontario Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) is seeking feedback from temporary employment agencies (TEAs) in response to its new premium rate setting model, originally introduced in 2020. The public consultation will support a review and possible modification of the rate setting approach for the TEA industry.

Under the new rate setting model, TEAs are subject to distinct classification and rate setting rules. Industry members raised concerns about these new rules, in particular, the potential for significant rate increases for some TEAs.

In response, the WSIB has launched this public consultation. The implementation of the new rate setting model has now been deferred until at least 2024, as the WSIB reviews these concerns and feedback from industry members.
