Next steps — by us and by you

When you submit your registration, WorkSafeBC will review your application to determine:

• If you are required or permitted to register as an independent firm (or employer) or as a labour contractor
  
• Your classification
  
• The effective date of your registration
  
• The date from which you will pay premiums

If you register using the online application:

• You will be assigned an Internet Registration Confirmation Number (IRCN) at the end of the online session. Your permanent WorkSafeBC account number will be e-mailed to you and a confirmation letter will follow by mail.

If you register by mail or fax:

• You will receive a letter confirming your registration.

Regardless of whether you register online or by mail or fax, you may be contacted by WorkSafeBC for clarification or if additional information is needed.

Next:

• We assign you an insurance rate (Find out how we set premiums)
• Each year, you'll report your payroll and pay your premiums (Read about reporting and remitting)
