Canada | How do I set up Workers' Compensation (WCB) on company level?

Workers' Compensation in Canada is a provincial insurance scheme that provides employees with income if they experience injury or illness at work while performing valid employment tasks. Each province operates its own Workers' Compensation Board (WCB), with specific rules, coverage requirements, and benefits, however, not all industries are required to participate.

Each record is effective date driven.

  Navigate > Config > Basic Settings > Company Settings > Basic Company Information

      Workers Compensation Library

      

Select to add a record and indicate the effective date for the Workers Compensation Classification. Once saved, the record displays on a history grid for future reference.

The standard naming convention for the Description and Code fields:

Description is XX-ClassCode-ClassName:

      XX = the 2-character province code

      ClassCode = Classification Code

      ClassName = Workers Classification Name

Code format is XX-ClassCode:

      XX = the 2-character province code

      ClassCode = Classification Code

      

      Workers Compensation Setup

      

Complete the fields for the applicable provinces. Employees will inherit this setup, however, a different Workers Compensation classification code and name may be specified on employee level where applicable.
