WIRO ENCOURAGES INSURER TO STEP IN AFTER EMPLOYER REPEATEDLY FAILS TO ISSUE PAYMENTS TO INJURED WORKER

A worker, who suffered an injury to his foot while working as a storeman, has received outstanding compensation payments after contacting WIRO to complain that his employer hadn’t paid him.

The Western Sydney man, who had since left the company, explained that he had not been paid his entitlements since January of this year.

WIRO staff immediately contacted the man’s insurer, who reported similar difficulties receiving a response from the man’s employer. It told WIRO that it would make payments by the end of the month if it did not hear from the employer.

After WIRO reminded the insurer that it missed its self-imposed deadline, the insurer agreed to compensate the worker directly for the amount of $2,000.

The man received his outstanding compensation payment two weeks after he contacted WIRO for assistance.

If you have an enquiry about your claim, contact WIRO on 13 9476.
