WorkSafeBC is proposing a change to how it corrects employer classifications when information was missing or incorrect, but there was no intent to mislead. 

They want to create a new category called “Firm Non-Compliance” for situations where an employer did not provide correct or timely information, but did not act fraudulently. 

This change would: 

• Make it clearer when a classification can be corrected  

• Set clearer rules for how far back changes can be made to rates  

• Help ensure employers pay the correct assessment rate  

• Reduce disputes and appeals about classification decisions
