Two important WorkCover obligations

It’s a busy time of year and therefore timely to remind you of two important WorkCover obligations.

Injured at work posted

One of the fundamental WorkCover obligations is to display the If you are injured at work poster.

If a Victorian WorkCover official visits you then they ask to see it.  And you will be fined if you don’t have it displayed.

Please note that this poster is to be displayed at each work location.

If you employ workers (and some types of contractors) interstate then you will also need to comply with that state or territory’s obligations.

WorkCover remuneration certification

It may be time to complete your 2023 WorkCover remuneration certification.

Large employers are required to submit early.  Other employers have delayed lodgement dates. That said, it still may be in your interest to lodge soon.  This is particularly the case if your remuneration will be significantly less in 2023/24 than for 2022/23.

You will get back what you over pay based off their estimate; but why over pay in the first place.

You will also ensure it is lodged.  Many employers forget to lodge and suffer from WorkCover’s default 20% annual increase.  So get it done now when you have finalised and issued the PAYG Payment Summaries.

At MRS, we will spend today planning for your success.
