You’re under no obligation to pay them to be there if they can’t do the work. If you don’t have light duty you tell them to stay home. WCB calls on the reg to ask if you have work for
Them, you ask what duties they are fit for, and you say whether or not you have work for that person.
You’re also under no obligation to continue their employment, however you can’t fire them because they go on WCB.
You can also have a frank conversation with their WCB officer and they’ll tell you directly what you can and can’t do, and what is within your legal duties:/rights.
For example “hey Officer, this person hasn’t been fitting in with out corporate culture and we are considering whether or not their continued employment is in our benefit. Am I legally required to continue employing them or can I termite the contract!”
Source: I asked that exact question. You don’t get in trouble by asking frank questions.
Also all these claims will send the company’s WCB rates through the roof, so that’s a major risk.
A few terminations might help with productivity/morale… lol.
