PeopleSoft Payroll for North America enables employers registered with the Workers' Compensation Boards (WCB) in Canada to report and pay assessments based on the total assessable earnings of their workers. The system accommodates the assessment reporting structures of all provinces. This functionality enables the reporting of assessments by rate groups and classification units.
Use the Tax Form Definitions page (TAXFORM_DEFN_TBL) to define WCB assessable earnings.

To define WCB assessable earnings:
Establish a new Tax Form ID—WCB Assessable Earnings—and the associated tax form Boxes for each province on the Tax Form Definition page.
The Boxes reflect the two-letter province code, preceded by a W.
Define and associate the assessable Earnings and Deduction Codes for each province with the WCB Assessable Earnings Tax Form ID.
Select the applicable provinces and define the assessable earnings.
The Earnings Codes defined as Regular Hours and Overtime Hours on the Pay Group table are automatically accumulated by the system as assessable earnings without defining them on the Tax Form Definitions page.
Associate the WCB Assessable Earnings tax form ID with the appropriate Plan Type, Deduction Code, Deduction Class, Sales Tax, and Earnings Code.
Note: The earnings codes defined as Regular Hours and Overtime Hours on the Pay Group table are automatically accumulated by the system as assessable earnings without defining them on the Tax Form Definitions page.
Use the WCB Classifications page (CAN_WCB_CU_RATES) to define WCB classifications, rate groups, and assessment rates.

If this check box is selected, the Workers Compensation report (PAY102CN) uses the entry on this page as the source for reporting assessment information for all covered employees in the province. If this check box is deselected, the information defined on the Job Code table (WCB Classifications page) 4 is used as the source for reporting. |

When adding the original entry for a province, this is set by default to N/A . If rate groups are applicable to the specified province, override the default by entering the rate group. |
| Default Assessment Rate |
If you enter a default assessment rate, that rate populates into the Assessment Rate for each Classification assigned to the Rate Group. |
