SASKATOON, Sask. – A man who went back to work while still living on workers’ compensation has recently been convicted of defrauding the Saskatchewan Workers’ Compensation Board (WCB), according to a press release from the WCB. At the Saskatoon Queen’s Bench Court, the former claimant pleaded guilty of receiving more than $5,000 in income replacement from the WCB after returning to work. On June 19, he received a six-month conditional sentence and was ordered to pay the WCB back. “The WCB has a responsibility to safeguard the workers’ compensation system,” the release, dated June 22, noted. “It relies on workers, employers and caregivers to accurately report injuries, employment activities, payroll and medical treatment.”
