As of May/June 2021, WorkSafeBC will no longer provide physical cheques for COR financial incentives. Instead, if an employer meets the program’s incentive eligibility criteria, incentive payment will be credited directly to the employer’s WorkSafeBC account.

This change will:

Eliminate delays in reimbursement created by mail delivery disruptions or outdated contact information.
Eliminate the step requiring the cheque to be deposited.
Reduce the environmental footprint.
