The Saskatchewan College of Paramedics is changing the fee structure for late licence renewals.
After evaluating options to reduce organizational costs, the late fee structure is changing from a weekly stepped approach to a lump sum. This change will only affect licences that are not renewed by the deadline of December 1, which has not changed.
The new approach will result in an immediate cost savings by not having the registration system reprogrammed each year with 10 late fee intervals, and by reducing staffing costs involved in managing late fees applications before each new fee change.
To avoid late fees:
Renew by the deadline and if needed, choose a restriction for unmet requirements ($100 + practicing fee; no change in how you work). Employers paying by cheque are advised to request an invoice early.
