Conditional Surcharge Refund Program
Employers with high claims costs may pay a surcharge through the WCB’s Surcharge Program.
Surcharge Program
Some employers consistently have much higher claims costs than others in their industry. To encourage safer workplaces and better return-to-work outcomes, WCB applies a surcharge to their premium rates.
