What This Process Does

  • Creates tab-delimited file for uploading Workers' Comp information to the Workforce Safety & Insurance (WSI) website.
  • The report will be named  as the WC account name plus date run with an extension of .csv (e.g. 9999_07-31-2026.csv).
  • The report will be created in E-Documents with a description of North Dakota Worker's Comp Report, and the csv file with a description of North Dakota Worker's Comp tab-delimited File.
  • Uses Fiscal Year Reporting which means 1st Quarter is July - September, 2nd Quarter is October - December, etc.


Best Practices

  • The appropriate WC Code must be assigned to each Position; to update the WC Code on a Position, access Setup → Job Positions → Position Masters
  • Positions are assigned to each employee on their Job Master(s).
  • Positions without a WC Code will not be selected into this report.
  • To report only Gross Wages, but display taxable earnings and gross wages on the report, enter the taxable earnings limit for the fiscal year.
  • If you receive a file format error message when uploading the file, cancel and save the file as an Excel file or Text File.
