Hi There, We have an employee who is on workers compensation. There is an excess from Work Cover QLD that we need to pay to the employee which equals their one week ordinary pay.
WorkCover will be paying the employee directly for the remaining time off work, so there will be no reimbursements from Work Cover to us.
How do I enter this into the weekly payroll? I assume I set up a payroll category for Workcover Excess and code it workers compensation?
Hi JS2023
Thank you for your post. I'd like to extend you a warm welcome to the Community Forum, I hope you find it a valuable resource.
In this matter, the worker's compensation rules and obligations may vary from state to state, I would recommend to check with your relevant authority for clarification. Also, check with your Accounting Advisor regarding the potential implications of worker's compensation on tax, superannuation or leave obligations. You can check on this link Payments and leave while on workers compensation this contains more information and can serve as your reference.
