Employees who have been injured in a work place accident may be in receipt of workers compensation for many years.
In our experience, we find that over time, an employer may have made an error or there is confusion as to how a workers compensation entitlement has been calculated.
We find that an employees’ entitlement to workers compensation is calculated using a combination of a payroll system, spreadsheets, and manual adjustments. This can often result in errors being made.
We also find errors in workers compensation calculations are caused by:
- Payroll system errors
- Data entry errors
- Human errors
Our workers compensation experts, review all relevant documentation in relation to the workers compensation claim. This mostly includes:
- Rosters
- Payslips
- Group certificates
- Other payroll related records
As part of the workers compensation audit or review we recalculate the employees entitlement to base salary,adjustments and workers compensation payments and compare these amounts to the gross amounts that the employee has actually been paid. This then allows us to determine if the employee has been over or underpaid in relation to workers compensation.
Our workers compensation specialists analyse every component of every pay going back to the date of injury.
We provide both the employer and the employee with the clarity that is needed to understand the workers compensation claim, rates and where there is an over payment or underpayment.
