Workers’ compensation coverage is required for paid employees of an organized township. Workforce Safety & Insurance (WSI) provides coverage and account management through myWSI.
Use the sections below to manage township coverage, submit payroll reports, make payments, and access proof of coverage.
The myWSI portal is an easy, fast, and secure way to connect with WSI.
All townships with an active account must have at least one user with an Administrator and/or Payroll Reporting role in myWSI.
In myWSI, employers can:
- View statements, letters, and certificates
- Make payments
- Update account information
- Report payroll information
- Enroll in paperless notifications
For assistance with myWSI access, contact WSI at 800-777-5033 or email [email protected].
All township policies have an annual reporting period of March 1 to February 28/29.
A township must submit a payroll report each year in myWSI.
On February 15, WSI sends notice that payroll reporting is available to users with myWSI access. The notice includes a billing statement for the minimum account premium of $250.
The payroll report and premium payment are due April 30 to accommodate the township’s annual meeting held in March.
To submit payroll report:
- Go to mywsi.workforcesafety.com
- Select Sign In and enter North Dakota login information
- Select Payroll Reporting
All wages for employees and officers, including supervisors, clerk(s), assessor(s), and treasurer(s), are reportable. Officer compensation should be reported in the employee section of the payroll report. If officers do not receive compensation but still request to be covered, enter $0 in the payroll amount.
Upon WSI’s receipt of the payroll report, actual premium will be calculated. If it is greater than the $250 already billed, WSI will send an additional bill.
If officers are the only members who are compensated and are not employed by the township in any other capacity, the township can elect to opt out of coverage.
Payments can be made in the myWSI portal or mailed to WSI.
If the account balance is not paid by the due date and becomes delinquent, WSI may close the account.
When payment is received, WSI will issue a Certificate of Payment for proof of coverage.
A township can request an account closure in three ways:
- Indicate to close the account on the payroll report, or
- Complete and return the "To Close Your Township Account" section on the billing statement, or
- Provide WSI with a written request.
