As an employer, there are important dates and deadlines you must meet to fulfil your responsibilities with the WCB.

Early January – Annual Payroll Reporting Letter

The WCB will send an annual payroll request in early January. The letter includes a six-digit Access Code for Online Payroll Reporting.

Note: If you have Personal Coverage only and do not employ any workers at your business, you will not receive a request for annual payroll information. Instead, you must pay for your Personal Coverage by January 31 otherwise your coverage will be cancelled.

February 28 - Payroll Reporting Deadline

The deadline to report payroll is that last day of February. If you miss the deadline, you will receive a penalty of five per cent of your WCB premium.

You do not need to send payment at this time.

April 30 – Late Reporting Penalty Increases to 10 per cent

If you do not send your information by April 30, the WCB will impose a payroll estimate and a 10 per cent penalty is applied to your account.
