How do I create an automated workers compensation payment?

Workcover payments can be automated using an Extra Rule.

Example:

John Smith's workcover payment is 38 hours at their default rate of $25


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 pay cycle hours. In this example "38"
  6. Classification: Select "Workers Comp Entitlement"
  7. STP Category: Select either "Gross" or "Workers Compensation". See the STP Quick Reference for more details.
