AND WHEREAS:
Section 38(1)(c) requires each employer to furnish certified copies of reports of the employer's payrolls, at or after the close of each calendar year and at the other times and in the manner required by the Board;
THE PANEL OF ADMINISTRATORS RESOLVES THAT:
- Assessment policy is amended to require all employers who pay assessments on a quarterly basis to also provide their assessable payroll reports on a quarterly basis.
- The Assessment Department is authorized to vary the remittance requirements
set out in policy in circumstances:
- where the employer agrees to a different remittance schedule;
- where an employer's annual assessment regularly fluctuates between remittance categories; or
