Pursuant to §211 of the Workers Compensation Law, an employer may be able to increase the employees’ contribution only by agreement and provided the contribution is reasonably related to the value of the benefits as determined by the Chairman of the Workers’ Comp Board. In other words, you have to have the approval of the Chair at the WCB.
