Policy decisions finalized at the March 19, 1999 WCB Panel of Administrators meeting
The following is a summary of the policy decisions finalized by the WCB Panel of Administrators on March 19, 1999. For information about the function and mandate of the Panel, please see Governing Structure.
The Panel of Administrators has approved two changes to the employer remittance requirements. Currently, Board policy says employers must remit their assessments either quarterly or annually, depending on the size of their annual assessment. The policy also says all employers must remit their payroll reports annually. The policy gives the Assessment Department no discretion to vary those requirements. The Panel approved a change to the policy, so that employers who pay their assessments quarterly can also be required to submit their payroll reports quarterly. The Panel also approved a change which gives the Assessment Department the discretion to vary the remittance requirements for individual employers, in limited circumstances. These amendments take effect May 1, 1999.
