We need to collect enough premiums to ensure we can fund all the current and future costs of the claims that arise each year. Collective liability. Your rate is affected by the claims experience and trends within your rate group. Costs are spread among all employers creating a balance between collective liability and individual employer accountability.

Paper settlements documents will no longer be accepted by the Board. The total expected costs for the coming year claims costs in the current year, potential future costs of current claims, and administrative costs are divided among all covered employers in Manitoba.
The average rate is a baseline — we use it to set rates for each classification group. When the total cost of injuries for all covered employers in Manitoba decreases, the average rate decreases, and this decreases the baseline rate for all employers.
If the average rate increases, the baseline rate for all employers increases. There are approximately industry classifications in Manitoba. When you register with the WCB, your business is assigned to an industry classification based on the overall kind of work you do. It is not affected by the legal structure s of your operations or the various occupations within your operation. An industry classification is made up of a group of employers who operate in a similar industry with a similar level of risk.
Each industry classification is assigned a risk category that describes their level of risk cost of injuries compared to the system average. Each year, we monitor industry classification experience rates to ensure that employers are placed in the proper risk category.
There are eighteen risk categories. As your industry's experience evolves, it may move a risk category to shift towards the experience reflected by costs and experience of the industry classification. Employers will receive a notification in their annual rate notification for possible movement. Classifications and their risk categories are based on four years of historical data that tell us how likely employers are — in comparison to the average of all employers — to have claims and claims-related costs.
Risk categories are expressed as a percentage of that likelihood in relation to the base rate. For example, an industry classification that has injury costs that are only 25 per cent of the average of all employers is put into the 25 per cent risk category. A classification in the per cent risk category is expected to have twice the claims costs as the average of all employers.
When an employer registers with the WCB, they are assigned the classification base rate of their risk category. Over time, their rate will be adjusted up or down within an established range of rates for that risk category depending on their actual claims costs.
