Ontario legal information · Ottawa and Eastern Ontario
The employer supplies facts; the insurer applies the benefit rules.
Confirm employment dates, job title, essential duties, schedule, earnings periods, absences and return attempts. Variable income may require more than one pay period.2
The claimant’s authorization should be read for scope. Keep the final employer form and any supporting payroll material provided.
The OCF-2 supports several income questions.
Employment status
Was the person working and on what terms?
Earnings
What source records support the reported income?
Absence and return
When did work stop or resume, and under what accommodations?
Reconcile the form before submission.
Pay stubs, ledger and earnings breakdown.
Regular, overtime, seasonal and variable hours.
Actual physical, cognitive and travel requirements.
Bonuses, commissions, benefits and collateral sources.
Correct errors in writing with the supporting record.
Do not alter an employer’s signed form yourself. Ask the employer to correct or explain inaccuracies.3
A calculation or entitlement denial may create LAT timing even while payroll questions continue.
How a personal injury lawyer may help with accident benefits.
A useful review should reduce the file to a defined benefit, disputed period, governing test and evidence problem—then explain the available response in plain language.
- Reconcile employer and tax evidence
- Clarify variable or self-employed income
- Connect duties to medical disability evidence
- Challenge calculation errors with source records
Not every file requires every step or legal representation. The work should respond to the actual dispute, evidence gap or decision that is approaching.
