Workers' Compensation Overrides

You can define overrides for Workers' Compensation processing for a person at the assignment or term level, job, location, or department.

Assignment - Level Overrides

Use the Hire an Employee task under New Person in the Workforce Management work area to enter these overrides for a person at the Assignment section of the Employment Information page:

• Workers' Compensation Province: You can override the province of employment. The default account for that province is used unless overrides exist.

• Workers' Compensation Account: You can select any valid account defined for the Payroll Statutory Unit (PSU) as the override. This uses the default classification unit and rate for this account unless lower-level overrides exist.

• Workers' Compensation Classification Unit: You can use any valid classification unit defined for the Workers' Compensation Account as the override. This override is used to determine the rate for calculating Workers' Compensation liability.

Job - Level Overrides

Use the Manage Jobs task in the Setup and Maintenance work area and under Define Workforce Structures to enter these override values in the Canada Job Information section of the Create Job: Job Details page:

• Workers' Compensation Classification Unit Override

• Workers' Compensation Province

Location - Level Overrides

Use the Manage Locations task in the Setup and Maintenance work area and under Define Workforce Structures to enter this override value in the Canada Legislative Information section of the Create Location page:

• Workers' Compensation Classification Unit Override

Department - Level Overrides

Use the Manage Departments task in the Setup and Maintenance work area and under Define Workforce Structures to enter these override values in the Department Legislative Information section of the Create Department: Department Details page:

• Workers' Compensation Classification Unit Override

• Workers' Compensation Province

When defining overrides at the job or department-level, you must specify the province first, as this presents classification units specific to that province.
