Reporting annual payroll: your annual return

Each year employers are required to report their workers’ insurable earnings paid in the current year along with an estimate of what earnings they expect to pay in the upcoming year. This information is vital to ensure the correct WCB-Alberta coverage is in place.

The annual return must be submitted before the last day in February each year. Please note: As February 28th falls on a weekend this year, WCB-Alberta has extended the reporting deadline to Monday March 1, 2010.
