Note: * Manitoba has a “maximum insurable earnings” for 2022 of $150,000 for the purposes of calculating the premium that an employer has to pay but there is no “maximum compensation rate” when calculating a claimant’s wage loss.
Extreme caution should be used when comparing these numbers as the information is not directly comparable between WCBs.
