Changes will mean temporary outage of online services Nov. 25
The Worker's Compensation Board of Alberta is making changes to its self-service account management system.
Starting Nov. 26, changes will happen in the following areas:
•account registration — signing up online for a WCB account
•account maintenance — making updates and changes to WCB account information online
•annual return — reporting annual insurable earnings online
The changes are designed to make it easier and more convenient to do business with the board, said the WCB.
Starting on Nov. 26, employers will be able to access WCB account information on more Internet browsers, including Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Opera and Safari. Employers already using myWCB will no longer have to log on twice to access online account management services. The user ID and password employers use to sign on to myWCB will now give employers access to account management services.
In order to make these upgrades, self-service account management services will be unavailable as of 4 p.m. on Nov. 25. The WCB expects services to be available again on Nov. 26.
