WCB Enforcement in Buffalo
The Workers' Compensation Board actively enforces coverage requirements for businesses throughout Buffalo and the surrounding region. Whether you are in construction, retail, food service, or professional services, WCB compliance is mandatory for any business with employees in New York State.
Buffalo businesses that receive WCB penalty notices face the same serious consequences as businesses anywhere in New York: civil penalties of $2,000 per 10-day period under WCL §52(5), potential stop work orders, and — if ignored — court judgments with bank levy authority.
