Review the Remuneration Estimated 2009/10

admin — Sun, 21 Mar 2010 22:00:17 +0000

The purpose of this note is to remind you to review the remuneration you estimated for 2009/10.

If you forecast an increase greater than 20% in your remuneration for the 2009/10 year, compared to the remuneration you estimated at the beginning of the financial year, you must provide your WorkCover Agent with a revised estimate in writing immediately. If you fail to do so, you may be penalised up to 100% of the premium difference.

Consider if there have been any unplanned activities this financial year that could result in an increase in remuneration, for example business acquisitions, increases in staff numbers due to a growing industry or increases in superannuation payments.

Click here to be directed to WorkSafe Victoria for more information regarding rateable remuneration.

It is also good practice to advise your WorkCover Agent if your actual remuneration during the policy period will be significantly less than the remuneration you estimated at the beginning of the financial year. Your future premium installments can then be adjusted in line with the reduced remuneration.

Please do not hesitate to contact James Kydas or Paul Marsh at P2 Group (03) 9818 8914 if you have any queries or require assistance with this matter.

Reduce your WorkCover Premium before it’s too late. Organisations only have five more opportunities to reduce their WorkCover premium before the 2010/2011 renewal is calculated. WorkCover is typically the second largest labour cost for organisations and needs strategic management at the Executive level.

Keeping in mind that P2 Group pride themselves on resolving long term cases, our strike rate in contacting a worker’s treating practitioner after a Functional Capacity Evaluation was a pleasing 92%.
