A WorkCover prosecution has resulted in the Chief NSW Industrial Magistrates court fining a worker a total of $1,650 and imposed a 15- month jail sentence, suspended on condition he entered a good behaviour bond, for workers compensation fraud.

The court found the man was overpaid $7,870 after failing to notify his workers compensation insurer that he had returned to employment following a knee injury.
