On December 1, 2025, the PEI’s Workers Compensation Board announced plans to distribute $18 million to eligible registered employers in the coming weeks. To qualify, employers must ensure their 2024 actual payroll is reported by December 31, 2025.
All Island employers will be advised of their individual assessment rates in December 2025.
Employers should do the below.
- Report 2024 actual payroll by December 31, 2025, to remain eligible for the surplus distribution.
- Verify account information with WCB (e.g., mailing address, direct deposit) to avoid delays in receiving surplus funds.
