Introduction
The availability of functions under the SST – WCB and Configuration sections of the Year-end menu depends on the configuration of your company. These functions allow you to view and update the employer rates.
Things to remember
If your company pays remittances to the SST in Quebec and the WCB in Nova Scotia, the title of the function is SST and WCB remittance rate. Please note that according to our Service agreement with the Workers Compensation Boards of the various provinces, only Nova Scotia’s WBC rate is modifiable.
