CNESST statement of wages
Mid-March, for the preceding calendar year.
This rule could not be verified. The Revenu Québec, Enterprise Registrar and CNESST sites refuse automated access: the rule above reflects my understanding without having been checked against an official text. Confirm it with the CNESST before relying on it.
Who it applies to
Every employer subject to Quebec's occupational health and safety regime. The statement establishes the annual assessment based on wages actually paid.
Important qualification
The exact date must be confirmed: “mid-March” is not enough to generate a deadline.
No date is shown here
The rule I have says “mid-March”. That is not a date. Showing March 15 would invent a precision the rule does not have, in a tool whose only purpose is to avoid penalties. The exact date is to be confirmed with the CNESST.
If you miss the date
Late-filing penalty, plus interest on the assessment.
