Alternative Assessing Procedure

The Alternative Assessing Procedure (AAP) is part of the Inter-jurisdictional Agreement on Workers’ Compensation between the Workers Compensation Board of Manitoba and all other Canadian workers compensation bodies. It permits qualified employers to report their payroll (workers’ earnings) to the Canadian province or territory where each worker resides, as opposed to splitting payroll based on mileage or time spent working in each jurisdiction.

Registration and premiums are paid in any and all Canadian jurisdictions where workers reside. If no workers reside in a specific jurisdiction, that jurisdiction will be identified as a “registering” board. In Manitoba, all “registering board” accounts are classified under 501-10 – AAP – Registering board. No premiums are collected.

An injured worker has the “right of election” or the option to choose to file a claim with the WCB in the jurisdiction where the injury occurred or in the jurisdiction they reside. The costs of any claims filed outside the worker’s resident province/territory will be billed back to the workers compensation body in the jurisdiction the worker resides.
