Setup WCB Code Canadian Payroll

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Bill Campbell 12

Hi all, just wondering what I am missing.

Setting up WCB seems a little too simple - open the Workers Compensation under the Setup >> Payroll and that seems to be the only thing.  There is a WCB code on the employee Card and I am thinking that this links the Employee to the Code.  Then when the employee earns income, the WCB - which is an Employer side tax - is calculated and recorded.

Since there is nothing on the employee side, I do not see any need for a record to exist on the employee Card - not like a deduction or benefit code. 

But that is where I break down and start to question myself.

Am I missing something?

    HI Bill,

    Just checked with my Payroll master and no, you don't miss anything.. this is the only place where you enter information / setup data for the WCB.

    There is no other step to do on the employee side.

    Hi Bill

    Beat is correct in what he said but to take things one step further, don't forget the setting in the payroll control setup: Distribute WCB expense if you want to expense the WCB by dept/division etc. and also the flag for setting Accrue Workers comp in the Payroll Employee Control window.

    Additionally there is the option to used Advanced WCB if you need to assign an employee to more than one WCB code for example an employee works partly in Alberta and partly in Ontario. 

    Mostly I have seen only one WCB account used for all employees in one company so have setup only one WCB account and assigned that to the employee classes so that it automatically populates.
