Assessment Penalties Policy
WorkSafeBC penalizes employers that do not report payroll information or make assessment premium payments on time, as such infractions represent a cost to the workers' compensation system. At issue are the policy changes that would be required in order to implement a new tiered penalty model for non-reporting of payroll and non-payment of premiums. The Policy and Research Division has developed a discussion paper on Assessment Penalties Policy (PDF 93kb) for consideration by stakeholders.
Stakeholders are invited to review the discussion paper, options, and draft policy, and provide feedback until September 14, 2005. When responding, please provide your name, organization, and address. Comments may be sent by mail, fax or e-mail to:
| By mail: | Cameron Angus Policy Analyst Policy and Research Division Workers' Compensation Board P.O. Box 5350, Stn Terminal Vancouver, BC V6B 5L5 |
| By fax: | 604 279-7599 |
| By e-mail: | policy@worksafebc.com |
WorkSafeBC's governing body, the Board of Directors, will consider the opinions expressed by stakeholders before it adopts any amendments to the current policies.
Please note that all comments become part of the Policy and Research
Division's database and may be published, including the identity of organizations
and those participating on behalf of organizations. The identity of those
who have participated on their own behalf will be kept confidential according
to the provisions of the Freedom
of Information and Protection of Privacy Act.
