Alternative Duties (Workers Compensation) applies when the Payee has returned to work and performs duties different from the current job role (suitable for their injury). The individual States and Territories govern 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.
Payments with this Pay Rate 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).
