  Most types of businesses have categories which are assessed based on each $100.00 of Estimated Assessable Payroll. Payments are made on this estimate and are revised at the end of each year. Penalties are imposed for low assessments. If your business does not require mandatory coverage you may opt for Voluntary Coverage. Benefits paid are based on the level of desired coverage applied for in the case of business owners; therefore, it is advisable to obtain the maximum allowable.
  Try this site Alberta - Workers Compensation Board Note Coverage is optional for Corporate Directors. To be covered Directors must request coverage for a specific amount.There is a maximum & minimum amount of coverage allowed & payouts require specific conditions to be met.
