If your irm has more than one CU
The earnings related to work performed are considered either direct or common.
Direct earnings are earnings that can be assigned to a CU directly from records that clearly show the earnings by business activity.
Common earnings are for work completed to support business activities in two or more CUs and can include human resources, accounting, administrative staff, and people covered by optional insurance. If Common work is performed, you must include a portion of the Common earnings with each CU when calculating premiums as follows:
1.Determine the direct earnings for each CU.
2.Total the direct earnings from all CUs.
3.Determine the total common earnings.
4.Divide the direct earnings for each CU by the total direct earnings for ALL CUs. This results in the proportion of common earnings to use for each CU. Then multiply each amount by 100 to get the percentage.
5.Multiply the percentage for each CU by the total common earnings. This gives the amount of common earnings to assign to each
CU description.
6.Add the common earnings amount PLUS direct earnings for each CU. Write the totals in Column A beside the appropriate CU.
7.Multiply the igures in Column A by the premium rates in Column B.
8.Divide the totals by 100 to get the premium owing for each CU, and write the amounts in Column C.
9.Add the amounts in Column C. This is the premium amount due for this reporting period.
10.Write the premium amount for each CU from Column C in the CU Premium column on the remittance stub.
No earnings to report?
Write ‘0’ (zero) as the insurable earnings for any CU that has zero earnings for this reporting period.

Details
Workers
A worker is anyone you employ in your business under a contract of service or apprenticeship. Any member of the family (including a spouse, children or relative of a sole owner, partner
or executive oficer) who is employed under a contract of service and receives earnings is considered a worker.
Workers can be employed either
Contractors (including subcontractors)
A contractor (subcontractor) is an individual or company that you enter into an agreement with to perform a service on your behalf.
If the contractor does not employ other workers, he or she may be considered either a worker or an independent operator
If you consider an individual to be an independent operator, you must have the WSIB conirm their status and keep copies of letters of conirmation.
If the WSIB determines the contractor is a worker, then you must include the labour portion of the contract as gross insurable earnings when you calculate your premium payment.
Earnings over the maximum (excess earnings)
The WSIB sets an annual maximum for insurable earnings.
For 2011 the annual maximum is $79,600
For workers who earn over the maximum, include only up to the maximum when calculating the premium.
Optional insurance
Include optional insurance amounts for this reporting period in the gross insurable earnings calculation.
Sole owners, partners, independent operators and executive oficers are not automatically entitled to WSIB beneits, but may apply for optional insurance coverage.
People with optional insurance are considered workers for reporting and premium purposes. If injured, they are eligible for the same beneits as other workers.
To cancel optional insurance, contact your account representative.
If you need help and do not know your account representative’s name and phone number,
contact the WSIB ofice nearest you.
