Alternative Duties (Workers Compensation)
🎯 The reporting of payments for Alternative Duties (Workers Compensation) has not changed per the Australian Taxation Office Single Touch Payroll Phase 1 guidance. Alternative Duties (Workers Compensation) continues to be reported under Gross.
🎯 If you are unsure if this Pay Type applies to your circumstances, please refer to the Payee's Employment Contract or obtain advice from the Australian Taxation Office or Fair Work Ombudsman.
Alternative Duties (Workers Compensation) is applicable when the Payee has returned to work and is performing duties different from the current job role (suitable for their injury). The individual States and Territories govern workers' Compensation.
Payments with this Pay Type use the Rate Per Hour set in the Payee Master File, and Leave Entitlements are applicable, provided the rules have been configured. These payments are considered W1 (Total of Salary, Wages, and other payments), Taxable, and OTE (SGAA).
