If you don’t pay your premiums, you will receive a late payment penalty and your account will be placed in default until resolved. This will affect your ability to receive clearances and may affect your ability to bid on jobs or contracts and receive payment for work completed. Personal or optional coverage will be cancelled if a payment is not received. We suggest using our online clearances system to stay up to date on your standing with the WCB.
