Use the following process if you would like to Set up and Process workers compensation in JobBag for employees who are not working or attending work as required
Workers Compensation set up process
Step 1: Create Payroll kind “Workers Compensation Not working”
Use same settings as below.
PAYG is withheld from Workers Compensation Payments at normal marginal rates.
Superannuation will only accrue on these payments if the employees award (EA) instructs to do so. In the example below, superannuation has not been accrued.
Annual Leave and Long Service Leave is accrued however Personal Leave in most states is not. You may want to consider creating a new employment record and remove Personal leave accrual. Or remove the Personal Leave accrual from the payslip once generated. See below. Please refer to Link to Fair work Act of Accrual of leave entitlements for Workers Compensation
Step 2: Payroll and SBR mapping
Payroll mapping
In this example I have mapped WORKCOMP to the Salaries expense account.
You may want to consider creating a new balance sheet account and mapping the kind to this account so that you can reconcile and track Workers Compensation payments and receipts.
STP Mapping of the payroll kind
The payment is recorded as Paid Leave type W
Step 3: Create Event Type
Use the same settings as per below
Workers compensation Payroll process
