Before you begin:
The Review Committee encourages workers and employers to request disclosure of files before submitting a Request for Review. This ensures all parties have access to the relevant information relating to the issues in question.

For more information on claim file disclosures please refer to Policy 07.01, Claim File Information Access.

If you're an employer disputing an assessment decision: Speak to your Assessment Representative, or the Manager of Employer Services to request a disclosure of the employer file. For more information on employer file disclosures please refer to Policy 07.02, Employer File Information Access.
