  • (b)

    in the case of any other worker—63 cents for each kilometre or part of a kilometre travelled by the worker in the course of business journeys by means of a motor vehicle provided or maintained by the worker.

If the amount calculated in accordance with subclause (1) is greater than the amount actually paid to a worker as a motor vehicle allowance, only the amount actually paid is to be excluded from the calculation of wages.

(3)

The amount of motor vehicle allowance paid to a worker that is to be excluded from wages for the purposes of this Order is to be calculated using whichever of the following 2 methods the employer prefers:

  • (a)

    the method set out in clause 4 (the continuous recording calculation method),

  • (b)

    the method set out in clause 5 (the averaging calculation method).

  • (a)

    the odometer readings at the beginning and end of each business journey undertaken by the worker during a period of insurance by means of a motor vehicle provided or maintained by the worker,

  • (b)

    the specific purpose for which each such business journey was taken,

  • (c)

    the distance travelled by the worker during the period of insurance in the course of all such business journeys, calculated on the basis of the odometer readings referred to in paragraph (a).

5Averaging calculation method(1)

The averaging calculation method requires the following details to be kept and used for calculation for the first period of insurance in which a worker’s employer chooses to adopt that method:

  • (a)

    the odometer readings at the beginning and end of each business journey undertaken by the worker during the relevant 12-week period by means of a motor vehicle provided or maintained by the worker,

  • (b)

    specific purpose for which each such business journey was taken,

  • (c)

    distance travelled by the worker during the relevant 12-week period in the course of all such business journeys, calculated on the basis of the odometer readings referred to in paragraph (a),

  • (d)

    odometer readings at the beginning and end of the relevant 12-week period for each vehicle provided or maintained by the worker for the purpose of undertaking business journeys,

  • (e)

    distance travelled by each such vehicle during the relevant 12-week period, calculated on the basis of the odometer readings referred to in paragraph (d),

  • (f)

    distance travelled by the worker in the course of business journeys undertaken by means of each such vehicle during the relevant 12-week period, calculated as a percentage of the distance travelled by that vehicle during that period,

  • (g)

    distance travelled by the worker in the course of business journeys undertaken by means of each such vehicle during the period of insurance, calculated on the basis that the percentage for each such vehicle for the period of insurance is the same as the percentage for that vehicle for the relevant 12-week period.

(2)

After the first period of insurance in which odometer details are recorded in accordance with subclause (1), the calculation referred to in subclause (1) (g) is to be employed for the purpose of calculating the distance travelled by the worker in the course of business journeys undertaken by means of each vehicle referred to in subclause (1) during each of the next succeeding 4 periods of insurance, calculated on the basis that the percentage for each such vehicle for the period of insurance concerned is the same as the percentage for that vehicle for the relevant 12-week period.

(3)

After the first period of insurance in which odometer details are recorded in accordance with subclause (1), a worker’s employer is not required to record the details referred to in that subclause for the worker for the next succeeding 4 periods of insurance unless:

  • (a)

    the Authority serves a notice on the employer before the commencement of a period of insurance during those 4 periods directing the employer to keep the details referred to in subclause (1) for those periods, or

  • (b)

    the employer wishes to use the recording method referred to in this clause for one or more additional motor vehicles used by the worker in any period of insurance or for any other reason.

(4)

In a situation referred to in subclause (3) (b), a worker’s employer may make a new record of odometer readings for a period of insurance in accordance with subclause (1) to replace the details previously recorded for the worker. The provisions of subclause (3) then apply in relation to the new record.

(5)

A worker’s employer who has adopted and employed the method of recording referred to in this clause for a worker for 4 successive periods of insurance must, in the next succeeding period of insurance, make a fresh recording of the details specified in subclause (1) if the employer intends to continue to use the same method of recording for the worker.

(6)

If the odometer of a motor vehicle is replaced or recalibrated during any period for which its readings are relevant for the purposes of this clause, the odometer readings immediately before and after the replacement or recalibration are to be recorded.

(7)

For the purposes of making the calculation referred to in subclause (1) (g) for the period of insurance in which this clause commences, a worker’s employer may estimate the distance travelled by a motor vehicle during any part of that period of insurance that occurs before that commencement.

6Meaning of “relevant 12-week period”(1)

In clause 5, relevant 12-week period means a continuous period of at least 12 weeks, selected by the worker’s employer, throughout which a motor vehicle is provided or maintained by a worker. If the motor vehicle is provided or maintained for less than 12 weeks, the period must be the entire period for which the motor vehicle is provided or maintained.

(2)

The period may overlap the start or end of the period of insurance, so long as it includes part of the period.

(3)

If the averaging calculation method is used for 2 or more motor vehicles for the same period of insurance, the odometer readings for those motor vehicles must cover periods that are concurrent.

7Replacing one motor vehicle with another motor vehicle(1)

For the purposes of using the averaging calculation method, a worker’s employer may nominate one motor vehicle as having replaced another motor vehicle with effect from a day specified in the nomination.

(2)

After the nomination takes effect, the replacement motor vehicle is treated as the original motor vehicle, and the original motor vehicle is treated as a different motor vehicle. An employer need not repeat for the replacement vehicle the steps already taken for the original motor vehicle.

(3)

An employer must record the nomination in writing in the period of insurance in which the nomination takes effect.

(4)

However, the Authority may allow an employer to record the nomination at a later time.

8Classification of employer’s business(1)

For the purposes of this Order, the classification applicable to an employer is the class in Column 2 of Table A (NSW WorkCover Industry Classification System) to which the employer’s business corresponds.

(2)

An employer’s basic tariff premium is determined having regard to the classification applicable to the employer’s business. An employer’s business means the employer’s business or industrial activity.

(3)

An employer may carry on a single business or more than one business at the same time.

(4)

If an employer carries on a single business, the classification applicable to the business is that which most accurately describes the entire business of the employer. The entire business includes not only the operations and activities directly involved in the conduct of the business, but also all operations and activities incidental to the conduct of the business.

(5)

If an employer carries on more than one business, so that it can be said that the employer carries on separate and distinct businesses, subclause (4) applies to each such separate and distinct business.

(6)

Generally, businesses are not separate and distinct if the operations and activities carried on in those businesses are incidental to one another.

(7)

In determining whether businesses are separate and distinct (for 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).

9Determination of wages(1)

In this Order, a reference to wages, in relation to a period of insurance under a policy issued or to be issued to an employer or in relation to a period of 12 months ascertained by reference to any such period of insurance, is a reference:

  • (a)

    except as provided by paragraph (b), to a reasonable estimate of the monetary value of all wages (not including any wages to which Schedule 8 applies) payable to workers by the employer in respect of the period of insurance or the period of 12 months, as the case may be as calculated by reference to the returns, if any, furnished in accordance with the regulations by the employer to the insurer, or

  • (b)

    where the monetary value of those wages (not including any wages to which Schedule 8 applies) has been ascertained—to the actual value of those wages.

(2)

If at any time the employer has failed to furnish the returns in respect of any relevant period of insurance and the monetary value of the wages concerned has not been ascertained, the estimate of the monetary value of those wages is taken to be such amount as is calculated by multiplying the monetary value (or reasonable estimate) of wages for the immediately preceding equivalent period of insurance by 1.3.

Schedule 2Application1Policies to which Order applies(1)

This Order applies to and in respect of policies of insurance that are to be or have been issued or renewed so as to take effect on or after 4 pm on 31 December 2005 and before 4 pm on 30 June 2006.

(2)

If, before 4 pm on 30 June 2006, an insurance premiums order has not been made in respect of policies of insurance taking effect on or after that time, this Order applies to and in respect of those policies pending the making of such an order.

2Policies exempt from Order

This Order does not apply to a policy of insurance issued or renewed by a specialised insurer that is exempted from insurance premiums orders by clause 147 of the Workers Compensation Regulation 2003.

Schedule 3Basic tariff premium1General(1)

The basic tariff premium (“T”) for an employer is to be calculated in accordance with the following formula:

where:

Wa, WbWn are each a part of the total wages payable to workers by the employer in respect of the period of insurance for which the premium is to be calculated, being a part of the total wages attributable to a class appearing in Column 2 of Table A applicable to the employer.

Ra, RbRn are each a percentage rate specified in Column 4 of Table A that corresponds with a class applicable to the employer, being a class appearing in Column 2 of Table A opposite the percentage rate.

(2)

For the purposes of subclause (1), the classifications applicable to an employer and the part of total wages payable by an employer that is attributable to any such classification are to be as determined by reference to returns, if any, furnished in accordance with the regulations by the employer to the insurer, or by other information from the employer.

2Exceptions(1)

If the policy concerned relates to per capita rates in respect of some or all workers, those rates are to be substituted for wages in respect of those workers to determine “Wa”, “Wb”…“Wn” in the formula in clause 1.

(2)

If the employer does not supply sufficient information to enable the business to be classified, the business is to be classified in the class with the highest percentage rate that appears to be applicable to the business. The business may be reclassified to a class having a lower percentage rate when sufficient information is supplied.

    The following activities should not be considered as separate and distinct businesses (as referred to in clause 7 of Schedule 1):

    • (a)

      Clerical Support Services,

    • (b)

      Management Services,

    • (c)

    • (e)

      Head Office Activities,

    • (f)

      Warehousing associated with Manufacturing or Retailing.

    These activities are not entitled to a separate class but should be considered incidental to the employer’s other activity or activities. Consequently the wages of any such workers will attract the percentage rate of the class that is appropriate to the employer’s business.

  • 2

    In the event that an employer carries on separate and distinct businesses (as referred to in clause 8 of Schedule 1) then workers engaged in the activities listed in clause 1 (a)–(f) 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 percentage rate of the class 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 percentage rate of the classes 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 percentage rate then the worker’s entire wages will attract the class with the lowest number).

  • 3

    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 percentage rate of the class applicable to the related corporation.

    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 percentage rate of the classes applicable to the respective related corporations, or

    • (b)

      if the employer is able to demonstrate that such services are predominantly provided to a particular related corporation—by reference to the percentage rate of the class applicable to that related corporation, or

    • (c)

      if the employer is able to demonstrate that such services are predominantly provided to related interstate or overseas entities—by reference to the percentage rate of the class applicable to those services.

  • 4

    If an employer has a business that is covered by Table A’s classes 612310, 612315, 612320, 612322, 612324, 612326, 612330, 931120, 931130, 931920, 931930, 931940 or 970000 (being classes that refer to a per capita rate), the employer’s basic tariff premium is to be calculated, to the extent that the business relates to those classes, on the basis of the per capita rates concerned rather than on the basis of wages.

  • 5

    In relation to the class applicable to ministers of religion (961000) 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.
