At its meeting on March 22, 2005, the Board of Directors approved changes to two policies in the Assessment Manual. Changes were made to:

• Item AP1-38-2 (Payroll — Categories), to clarify the retroactive limit to payroll restatement for a prime contractor in situations where the WCB backdates the registration of a subcontracting firm, and
• Item AP1-88-1 (Audits), to add a statement providing that the law and policy in effect at the time period covered in an audit is used to determine compliance, unless a subsequent law or policy change provides otherwise.

The policy amendments took effect on April 1, 2005.
