      Workers’ compensation (WCB) setup and reporting

      Workers’ compensation provides insurance coverage for employees in case of work-related injuries or illnesses. To support proper reporting and premium calculation, each employee must have accurate WCB information configured.

      This article explains how to set up WCB per employee, including historical earnings, accessing reports, and troubleshooting common issues.

      What is WCB?

      Workers’ Compensation is a provincially administered program. Employers are required to:

      • Report employee earnings to their local WCB authority

      • Pay premiums based on the industry and risk classification

      The system automatically calculates premiums and provides reporting tools to assist with year-end filing. Automatic remittance is not currently supported.

      How to set up WCB on the employee profile

      1. Go to Settings > Employees

      2. Select the employee and open their profile

      3. Click the Workers' Compensation tab

      4. Click + Add Workers' Compensation

      5. Complete the following fields:

      Field

      Description

      Rate

      Premium rate per $100 of assessable earnings

      Code

      Industry classification code (e.g. 7380 for construction)

      Industry

      Sector or description of the business

      Historical earnings

      Effective from

      The date the rate is effective

      1. Click Create to save

      historical earnings must match the province of employment. They ensure that premium calculations are accurate, even if the employee started before the platform was implemented.

      Where to find and download WCB reports

      WCB reports are available from the Reports tab in Business Settings.

      To download:

      1. Go to Settings > Reports

      2. Locate the Workers’ Compensation section

      3. Click Download

      4. In the pop-up, select the Year and Pay Schedule

      5. Click Download to generate the report

      The report includes:

      • Applied rates and classification codes

      • Historical remuneration, if entered

      • Calculated premiums per employee

      Troubleshooting WCB setup

      WCB amounts not appearing in reports

      If WCB is showing in the Payroll Register but not in the WCB report:

      • Confirm the payroll was finalized (draft runs aren’t included)

      • Check that the employee has an active WCB entry

      • Make sure WCB is enabled in your reporting configuration

      Historical earnings weren’t included

      If historical earnings were missed during setup:

      1. Revert the payroll (if in preview mode)

      2. Delete the WCB tax property

      3. Recreate it with the correct historical values

      If payroll has already been processed and can’t be reverted, contact support for next steps.
