What it does

This Order, titled Insurance Premiums Order 2000-2001, prescribes the statutory mechanics for calculating workers compensation insurance premiums for policies taking effect between 4 pm on 30 June 2000 and 4 pm on 30 June 2001 (Sched 2 cl 1). It commences at 4 pm on 30 June 2000 (cl 2) and continues to apply to policies within that 12‑month window; it also contains a temporary continuation rule if a successor premiums order has not been made by 30 June 2001 (Sched 2 cl 1(2)). Schedules 1-9 and Table A form part of the Order (cl 4).

Mechanically, cl 3 sets the headline premium calculus: the premium payable by an employer for a policy must be calculated for a period not exceeding 12 months and, depending on the employer category, by applying one of two formulae (cl 3(a) and (b)). The formulae are expressed in variables defined in Schedule 1 and the relevant Schedules: the basic tariff premium T (Schedule 3), the experience adjustment factor S (Schedule 4), the experience premium E (Schedule 5), the excess surcharge factor X (Schedule 6), the dust diseases contribution D, the premiums adjustment contribution Q, and the input tax credit adjustment I (Schedule 9). For category A employers there's an explicit cap where, if the basic tariff premium T does not exceed $112,000, the experience adjusted premium cannot exceed twice T (cl 3(a) proviso). Category definitions are in Schedule 1: category A means an employer whose basic tariff premium would exceed $3,000 assuming a 12‑month period; category B means other employers (Sched 1 cl 1(1)).

The Order supplies detailed operational rules: Schedule 3 fixes how the basic tariff premium T is calculated by applying industry tariff rates in Table A to the wages attributable to classification categories (Sched 3 cl 1). Schedule 4 specifies when and how an experience adjustment factor S is calculated, conditioned on an employer having two years of insured history and supplying claims particulars (Sched 4 cl 1). Schedule 5 prescribes calculations of any experience premium E, using prior years’ claim costs and wages and several numeric factors (including F75, F76 and governor‑determined F77-F79) and specific substitution rules where per capita rates apply (Sched 5). Schedule 6 imposes a 3% excess surcharge factor X in a narrow circumstance for category B employers who have not agreed to repay prescribed excesses (Sched 6). Schedule 7 sets minimum premiums for category B policies ($38 for domestic or similar workers; $120 for other policies) (Sched 7). Schedule 8 creates an exclusion from premium calculations for certain wages paid to newly employed workers who were previously injured, subject to application procedures and WorkCover Authority guidelines (Sched 8). Schedule 9 adjusts premiums to reflect an employer’s GST input tax credit entitlement; it sets a mapping from entitlement ranges to percentage adjustments and treats failure to notify the insurer as 100 per cent entitlement (Sched 9). Table A supplies the tariff classification list and basic rates, including some per capita charges for certain activities.

Calculation of insurance premium payable by employer

3 Calculation of insurance premium payable by employer

The premium payable by an employer for a policy of insurance is to be calculated by requiring the premium to be calculated for a period of insurance of not more than 12 months and:

(a) if the employer is a category A employer for the purposes of the policy, in accordance with the following formula:

except that where the basic tariff premium for the employer [T] does not exceed $112,000, the experience adjusted premium for the employer is not to exceed twice the amount of that basic tariff premium [2T],

(b) if the employer is a category B employer for the purposes of the policy, in accordance with the following formula:

where:

P is the premium for the time being payable by the employer in respect of the period of insurance to which the policy relates, being:

(a) except as provided by paragraph (b) below, the initial premium so payable in accordance with this Order, or

(b) where adjustments are required to be made to that premium by reason of the operation of this Order, the premium so payable by reason of those adjustments.

T is the basic tariff premium for the employer, calculated with respect to the period of insurance in accordance with Schedule 3 to this Order.

S is the experience adjustment factor for the employer determined with respect to the period of insurance in accordance with Schedule 4 to this Order.

E is the experience premium, if any, for the employer determined with respect to the period of insurance in accordance with Schedule 5 to this Order.

X is the excess surcharge factor for the employer determined with respect to the period of insurance in accordance with Schedule 6 to this Order.

D is the dust diseases contribution, if any, for the employer.

Q is the premiums adjustment contribution, if any, for the employer.

I is the input tax credit adjustment, if any, for the employer determined with respect to the period of insurance in accordance with Schedule 9 to this Order.

In determining whether businesses are separate and distinct (for tariff classification purposes) it is relevant to take the following into account:

(a) the nature of the operations and activities (including incidental operations and activities) respectively carried on in the businesses,

(b) differences in the identity of the workers respectively engaged in the businesses (and in particular of the workers engaged in the manufacturing or industrial activities and operations),

(c) differences in locations of the businesses, for example, differences in locations may vary from sites far removed from each other, or separate floors in a given building, or even separate parts on the one floor level of a building (the important element in relation to location is that normally separate and distinct businesses have exclusive use of the particular area in which the operations and activities of the business are carried on).

7

There is no tariff classification of “Clerical Staffs—office work” or “Commercial Travelling”. Consequently the wages of any such workers will attract the basic tariff premium appropriate to the employer’s business.

8

In the event that an employer carries on separate and distinct businesses then workers of the type previously eligible to attract the “Clerical Staffs—office work”, or “Commercial Travelling”, tariffs are to each be allocated to one of those two or more separate and distinct businesses. Any such allocation will be on the following basis:

(a) if such a worker is occupied wholly or predominantly in just one of the employer’s separate and distinct businesses then the entire wages of the worker will attract the tariff classification premium rate appropriate to that business,

(b) if such a worker is occupied substantially in more than one of the employer’s separate and distinct businesses then the entire wages of the worker will attract the lowest tariff classification premium rate appropriate to the various business activities in which the worker is occupied. (In the event that those two or more separate and distinct businesses each have the same basic tariff rate then the worker’s entire wages will attract the tariff classification with the lowest rate number.)

9

Notwithstanding the application of Notes 4, 5 and 6 the following activities should not be considered as separate and distinct businesses:

(a) Clerical Support Services

(b) Management Services

(c) Administrative Services

(d) Sales and Marketing

(e) Head Office Activities

(f) Warehousing associated with Manufacturing or Retailing.

These activities are not entitled to a separate rate pursuant to Note 4 but should be considered incidental to the employer’s other activity or activities.

10

If an employer has a business that is covered by Table A’s tariff rate numbers 529, 558, 714, 723, 906, 907, 908 or 911 (being rate numbers that refer to a per capita rate), the employer is to be rated, to the extent that the business relates to any or all of those per capita rates, on the basis of the per capita rates concerned rather than on the basis of wages.

11

The WorkCover Authority may, from time to time, issue guidelines to insurers for the application of these Notes and the classification of Employers’ Businesses or Industrial Activities.

12

“Mfg” means “Manufacturing”.

13

“noc” means “Not Otherwise Classified”.

14

In relation to the tariff classification applicable to ministers of religion (Rate No 784) note that clauses 17 and 18 of Schedule 1 to the Workplace Injury Management and Workers Compensation Act 1998 provide special procedures by which ministers of religion may be treated as workers for the purposes of the Act.

15

(1) If an employer:

(a) is related to another corporation (as referred to in clause 1 (3) of Schedule 1), and

(b) predominantly provides clerical, administrative or managerial services to any related corporation,

the premium payable by the employer is to be calculated by reference to the tariff classification premium rate applicable to the related corporation.

(2) However, in the case where the employer provides such services to more than one related corporation, the premium payable by the employer is to be calculated:

(a) by reference to the highest of the tariff classification premium rates applicable to the respective related corporations, or

(b) if the employer is able to demonstrate to its insurer that such services are predominantly provided to a particular related corporation—by reference to the tariff classification premium rate applicable to that related corporation.
