Block 15A – Total insurable hours – Enter total insurable hours for the number of pay periods according to the following chart. For example, where your pay period type is weekly, provide total insurable hours in the last 53 consecutive pay periods, or less if the period of employment was shorter. Review section, on front of pamphlet titled “When to issue the ROE,” with regards to part-time, on-call or casual workers.
Pay period type reported in Block 6 Number of consecutive pay periods to report for 15A – Total Hours – or less if period of employment was shorter
Weekly Last 53
Bi-weekly Last 27

Monthly Last 13
13 pay periods a year Last 14



(15B) If the Employee had continuous employment in the last pay period, enter the Total Insurable Earnings for the period. See the table below for an explanation.

(15C) If there is a break in the employment weeks, enter the last pay period earnings. See the table below for an explanation.


Blocks 15B – Total insurable earnings - ONLY complete 15B, according to the following chart below, if there are insurable earnings in each consecutive pay period. Remember to include insurable earnings of Block 17. View additional instructions on Page 2. NOTE: While insurable earnings for premium purposes are limited to $39,000 annually, there is no such maximum for ROE reporting purposes. Example, if the insurable earnings in the appropriate pay period are $56,345.02, report all of those earnings.
Pay period type reported in Block 6 Number of consecutive pay periods to report for 15B Total earnings or 15C – detailed earnings – or less if period of employment was shorter
Weekly Last 27
Bi-weekly Last 14
Semi-Monthly Last 13
Monthly Last 7

Insurable earnings by pay period - ONLY complete 15C, according to the chart above, if there are pay periods where the employee has had NO insurable earnings. Always leave Block 15B blank if completing Block 15C. In completing 15C, the first entry should record the insurable earnings for the final (most recent) insured pay period and also include the insurable earnings of Block 17. Enter a breakdown of insurable earnings by pay period according to the above chart. Where there is a pay period with zero or no insurable earnings, enter "NIL".

General Information for Blocks 15B and 15C. For employees who are working on a contract basis and who, under this contract, are paid during pay periods that do not cover the entire period of the contract, the following method must be used to report insurable earnings in either Block 15B or 15C. First, average the total insurable earnings of the contract by dividing these earnings by the number of weeks in the contract. Then, multiply this weekly average by 27 or less, if this is the case, which is the number of pay periods (from the chart) to be used to report earnings for a weekly pay period type.

For employees who are paid solely on commissions or on salary and irregularly paid commissions, the following method must be used to report insurable earnings in either Block 15B or 15C. First, average the total insurable earnings paid in the last 52 calendar weeks (or less if the period of employment is shorter) by dividing these earnings by 52 or less, if this is the case. Then, multiply this weekly average by 27 or less, if this is the case, which is the number of pay periods (from the chart) to be used to report earnings for a weekly pay period type.
