Legislative & Legal Updates
The Office of the Employer Adviser is seeing a number of inquiries from construction employers who have been assessed retroactively for unpaid executive officer premiums. This is a reminder that since 2013 the Workers’ Compensation Act requires all executive officers or partners to pay premiums on their insurable earnings. This is regardless of whether the executive / partner is working in construction, stays in the office or is enjoying her retirement in a warmer climate. If an executive / partner is issued a T4 or a T5 or paid in some other manner, the company must pay premiums on their earnings.
The OGCA and other stakeholders received a letter from Committee Chair Bruce Reynolds advising that he and his team requested an extension to April 30, 2016. While we may have to wait a little longer, it is clear that the extra time will be used effectively to consult further with the advisory group to ensure that the recommendations that will go forward have had full and proper consideration.
