A-3 - Workers’ Compensation Act

Full text
88. (1)  Every employer shall yearly, on or before the date prescribed by the regulations of the Commission, prepare and transmit to the Commission a statement of the amount of the wages earned by all his employees, including, where such is the case, the gratuities that he is deemed to have paid them under section 1015.2 of the Taxation Act (chapter I-3), during the 12 months preceding the date fixed by the Commission or any part thereof specified by the Commission and of the amount which he estimates he will expend for wages, including, where such is the case, the gratuities he will be deemed to have paid under the said section 1015.2, during the then current year or any part thereof specified by the Commission, the number of employees contemplated in each case and such additional information as the Commission may require.
The correctness of such statement shall be attested by the declaration under oath of the employer or his manager or, where the employer is a legal person, by an administrator of such legal person having a personal knowledge of the matters to which the statement relates.
(2)  For the purposes of this Act, every employer shall keep, in the usual form and with all the details required, a careful and accurate account of all wages paid to his employees, including, where such is the case, the gratuities that he is deemed to pay them under section 1015.2 of the Taxation Act; and such account shall be constantly kept within Québec and shall be produced to the Commission and its officers when so required.
(3)  Where the undertaking of the employer embraces more than one branch of business or more than one establishment within the meaning of the Act respecting occupational health and safety (chapter S-2.1), the Commission may require separate statements from such employer for each branch of business and each establishment, and such statements shall be made, examined and transmitted as provided in subsection 1.
(4)  If the employer does not make and transmit to the Commission the prescribed statement within the prescribed time, the Commission may base any ordinary or supplementary assessment on such sum as in its opinion is the probable amount of the pay-roll of the employer, and the employer shall be charged and assessed accordingly. If it is afterwards ascertained that the employer’s pay-roll has exceeded the amount fixed by the Commission, such employer shall pay to the Commission the difference between the amount for which he was assessed and the amount for which he would have been assessed on the basis of his actual pay-roll.
(5)  The Commission may, if the employer fails to furnish or delays in furnishing the statement prescribed by subsection 1 or furnishes an insufficient statement of the wages he has to pay to his employees, including, where such is the case, the gratuities that he is deemed to pay them under section 1015.2 of the Taxation Act, in addition to any other penalty provided by this Act, order the employer to pay, as the case may be, an additional amount of assessment or interest, as fixed by the Commission.
