WorkSafe injury insurance guides
WorkSafe Victoria has issued two new guides on injury insurance that came into effect 1 July 2008 entitled ‘Your WorkSafe Injury Insurance 2008/09 — a guide for small employers’ and ‘Your WorkSafe Injury Insurance 2008/09 — a guide for medium to large employers’.
The two publications detail how the insurance system works and outline the changes that took effect from 1 July.
The guide for larger employers has been developed for employers whose premium for 2008/09 has been calculated using the medium to large employer method because their rateable remuneration is greater than $200,000.
The guide for small employers has been developed specifically for employers whose premium for 2008/09 has been calculated using the small employer method because their rateable remuneration is $200,000 or less.
Both documents outline key dates, payment options, what to include as remuneration and a checklist to help ensure you are declaring the right amount. They can be downloaded from www.worksafe.gov.vic.au under the ‘Forms & Publications’ tab.
