Beginning January 1, 2025, you can submit a 2024 annual return for the Worker’s Compensation Board by logging into myWCB and clicking “File my annual return”. Reports must be filed by February 28. Your client(s) will need to ensure you have the appropriate access so you can submit an annual return on their behalf.
Employers with workers are required to fill out the return annually to report their workers’ assessable earnings paid in the last year and the estimated earnings they expect to pay in the upcoming year. The information submitted on behalf of client(s) will help ensure they have the right WCB coverage in place, pay the correct premium amount, and receive a fair and accurate invoice.
If you need support to access a myWCB account, contact the WCB via email (ebusiness.support@wcb.ab.ca) or call 780-498-7688 in Edmonton or 1-866-922-9221 toll-free. WCB staff are available to assist you Monday to Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
A reminder about the personal coverage option
When filing an annual return on behalf of your client(s), please ensure you review their personal coverage option. If you are declining personal coverage on their behalf, it is important that you relay this to your client(s) to ensure they are aware of what this decision entails. The WCB personal coverage fact sheet explains the benefits of personal coverage.
