True-up online reporting
The True-up online report will be available onJuly 1, 2022. At the end of the policy year, we must ensure the estimated premium we set for you was correct. To do this, you must file a True-up report that reflects the actual payroll for that policy year. You must complete the report online using the Payroll True-up report service offering by August 15, 2022. If your True-up payroll exceeds the estimated payroll, you'll owe additional premium. If your True-up payroll is less than your estimated payroll, you'll receive a premium credit. An employer must submit a payroll True-up report even if it has zero payroll.
