For your protection, you should always ask for a letter of clearance from the WCB whenever you hire contractors or subcontractors.
The clearance confirms that the contractor’s account with WCB is in good standing. This is important because if the contractor’s account is in default, as the principal employer, you may be liable to pay assessments owed by the contractor and subcontractors.
With an Online Services account, employers can create a favourites list for even quicker access to clearance information, and receive automatic email notification of any change in their Favourites’ status. Sign up for an Online Services account now.
