Experience Rating, NEER, CAD-7 and Premium Rate Assessments

WSIB Experience Rating

Employer Advocacy — We assist employers with WSIB experience rating issues including NEER, CAD-7, and premium rate assessments. Our lawyers review calculations, prepare objections, and develop strategies to minimize surcharges, maximize refunds, and lower long-term WSIB costs for your business.

The Problem: Complex WSIB Premium Systems

Ontario’s WSIB experience rating programs — including NEER, CAD-7, and the current premium rate framework — directly impact employer costs. For many businesses, these programs are confusing, opaque, and difficult to challenge. Employers often accept WSIB calculations at face value, only to discover later that errors or misclassifications cost thousands of dollars in unnecessary premiums.

Even small mistakes in reporting, claim handling, or classification can snowball into higher assessments and reduced refunds. Without expert guidance, employers may miss opportunities to reduce surcharges and secure rightful credits.

How We Help Employers with WSIB Premiums

Our lawyers provide clear, strategic advice on experience rating and premium assessments. We analyze your account data, identify errors, and challenge unfair results to protect your business from inflated costs.

We assist by:

  • Reviewing NEER and CAD-7 assessments for accuracy.
  • Advising on the new WSIB premium rate framework.
  • Preparing objections and evidence-based submissions.
  • Developing strategies to reduce surcharges and maximize refunds.
  • Advocating for fair employer classification and cost allocation.

With our support, employers can take control of WSIB costs and ensure they are paying only what is required — nothing more.
