Workers Compensation & Annual leave Pay in the same pay run

Hi all, We currently have an employee on workers compensation. Insurance company has set a weekly pay rate. In WA when an employee has annual leave pre booked, they are entitled to both workers comp and annual leave pay in the same week.

My problem is how do I do this in the same pay run? His base hourly rate is different to workers compensation rate? 

His employee card is currently set up for the workers comp rate (will revert back once back at work).

 

Thanks

    Hey Seacat,

     

    You’ve got a tricky combo on your plate. You can process both in the same pay. In Process Payroll add a separate Annual Leave line and pay it at the employee’s ordinary base rate. Override the rate on that leave line if it pulls the comp rate. Keep Workers Compensation as its own wages category for the insurer amount. Make sure to also check out this link for more info.

     

    Cheers,

    Doreen
