All Workers' Compensation Boards in Canada require out-of-province trucking firms operating in their province to pay their B.C. share of premiums for each driver who travels in or through the province.
The Canadian Trucking Association and the Association of Workers' Compensation Boards of Canada have an agreement called the Alternate Assessment Procedure (AAP) which simplifies premium payments for trucking firms that haul across several provinces. All provinces, except Saskatchewan, participate in the AAP agreement.
Under the agreement, a firm must register in each jurisdiction in which it operates.
Interjurisdictional trucking firms have two payment options. They can:
- Continue to report interjurisdictional trucking earnings and pay premiums based on a percentage of kilometres driven in each province or territory
- Join the AAP, which allows them to report interjurisdictional trucking earnings and pay premiums to the Workers' Compensation Board in the province where the worker resides (except in Saskatchewan). Truckers driving through Saskatchewan must register and pay premiums to the Saskatchewan WCB for the part of their trip through the province. Mileage must be pro-rated.
To participate in the Alternative Assessment Procedure, send a completed Application for Alternative Assessment Procedure for Interjurisdictional Trucking (PDF 26kb) to WorkSafeBC.
