Injured at work claim7/9/2023 ![]() You’re allowed to go back to the job you had before your accident. Once your doctor says you can go back to work, you must tell your employer. You can’t be fired for having a workplace accident. However, you’ll have to wait longer than 90 days in some cases. If you challenge the CNESST’s initial decision and it doesn’t give a second decision within 90 days of receiving your request, you can turn to the TAT. You usually have 60 days to ask the TAT for a decision. This court is called the Tribunal administratif du travail (TAT or administrative labour tribunal). If you don’t agree with the second CNESST decision, you can ask a special kind of court to review your case. The CNESST will then make a second decision. You have 30 days to challenge a CNESST decision and give your arguments. The CNESST will look at your file and decide if you can have compensation for your salary and if your medical expenses will be paid. Your employer or the CNESST will pay for them. The CNESST or your employer can ask you to have other medical tests. You must also give a copy of the form to your employer. Make sure you fill out the whole form and attach the necessary documents. If you are off work for more than two weeks after the accident, or if you want a refund for some of your medical expenses, you must complete a CNESST form called the Worker’s Claim. No matter how long you’re off work, you can also ask the CNESST to pay some of your medical expenses.
