Under the FlexPay system, all customers will report payroll as follows:

  • Every February you will report your actual payroll for the previous year and estimate your payroll for the current year.
  • At any time throughout the year, you may revise your estimated payroll when significant fluctuations to your actual payroll occur.



The WCB will compare the estimated payroll you reported as of July 1 of the previous year and if this amount is within 25 per cent of your actual payroll, you pay no interest.

You will have until June 30 of each year to report your annual estimate payroll. If the estimate is within 25 per cent of actual payroll after June 30, there is no interest on any adjustments.

You will have various options to when and how you make your WCB payments .If your business is seasonal (operates only part of the year), these options may assist you with managing your cash flow.

There are a variety of payment options available under the WCB’s FlexPay System depending on your premium amount. Learn more about premium payment deadlines here.
