As part of its response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) has announced a relief package allowing employers to defer premium reporting and payments until August 31, 2020. 

The WSIB has also announced that the costs for COVID-19 claims will be allocated on a Schedule-wide basis and that there will be no change in premium rates for 2020. This measure is meant to help alleviate the impact of COVID-19 cases on individual employers, thus facilitating workers’ ability to comply with public health orders such as self-isolation or quarantine orders.

This will not alter employers’ obligations under the Occupational Health and Safety Act.

Full details as well as an FAQ section can be found on the WSIB website

Schedule 2 employers – including certain publicly funded organizations and certain businesses involved in federally regulated industries – are also eligible to defer reporting and payment obligations.

Schedule-wide basis  for COVID-19 claims
Alongside the deferral of premium reporting and payment obligations, the WSIB has announced that the costs of COVID-19 related claims will be allocated on a schedule-wide basis rather than at an employer or class level. 

WSIB has also announced that there will be no change in premium rates for 2020. This measure will help to alleviate the impact of COVID-19 cases on individual employers, thus facilitating workers’ ability to comply with public health orders such as self-isolation or quarantine orders. This will not alter employers’ obligations under the Occupational Health and Safety Act.
