Yellowknife, NT (November 27, 2023) – The Workers’ Safety and Compensation Commission (WSCC) announces that the average employer assessment rate is remaining at $2.40 per $100 of assessable payroll, unchanged since 2020. 

This is the base rate the WSCC uses as a starting point when setting individual subclass rates. 

Subclasses are groups of employers who have similar operations and share similar risks. Each employer pays an annual assessment based on the group rate for their industry and the size of their payroll.
