Workcover payments can be automated using an Extra Rule.

Example:

Navigate to Menu > Settings > Payroll Rules > Extra Rules, click the Create New Rule button

The key configuration for the example above:

1. Title This will be the Payslip Title that appears on the employee's payslip. For example "Workcover J.Smith"
2. Group/Employee Select the Employee affected. In this example "John Smith"
3. Fixed or Percentage Select "Fixed"
4. Value Change this value to hourly rate. In this example "25"
5. Multiplier/Shift count Set this value to the paycycle hours. In this example "38"
