Requests For Self Insured Status

Policy Purpose

Section 73 of The Workers Compensation Act (the Act), effective January 1, 1992, provides for the classification of employers into five classes:

Class A -
Provincially funded industries set out in a schedule established by the WCB

Class B -
Self-insured employers set out in a schedule established by the WCB

Class C -
Province of Manitoba and its agencies

Class D -
City of Winnipeg

Class E -
All industries set out in the schedule and not included in Classes A, B, C or D

Class E employers are assessed on an “insured payroll” basis while Classes A, B, C and D are assessed on a self-insured basis.
