Procedures For 'Create NWE Adjustment Requests'

Select CNWA ('Create NWE Adjustment Requests') from the General Facilities menu.

A screen will then be presented with criteria to select:

• the employer and its Cost Centre;

• specific Occupation codes (where only certain occupations need to have their NWE updated);

• the date from which the NWE update is to take effect; and

• either a weekly $ figure or percentage increase (or in rare circumstances, a % decrease).

Usually, an employer will need to be selected, then Cost Centres relevant to the state office of the user.  By using the F4 prompt function key, appropriate employer and Cost Centre numbers can be selected.

A new CNWA request will be required for each Cost Centre chosen.  However, if the State office of the user is solely responsible for a particular employer, it won't be necessary to also select a Cost Centre.

Add the effective date of the NWE increase and enter a percentage or dollar figure.

'Apply Adjustment To' affects which claims the increase is to apply to.  If the adjustment is to be applied to all categories of employee, CNWA details will need to be entered three times for the employer.  This will create a list according to whether employees are:

• former;

• ex; or

• current employees.

Once all relevant criteria have been entered, press 'return' or 'enter' twice.  This will generate a printed report, providing a list of all relevant employees for the employer.

Allow time for the report to print, as PRACSYS needs to search the database to match employees to selections.

Repeat the above process until all employee requests have been created.
