Employer Details

Setting up employer and Cost Centre records has a major impact on a large part of the system.

Initially, staff are required to enter employer and Cost Centre details for organisations:

  • employing the employee at the date of injury; and

  • currently employing the employee.

As these areas are critical to premium and reimbursement costs, they are mandatory fields on PRACSYS.

  • employer and Cost Centre details at the date of injury link the claim record directly back to an employer's premium.

  • employer and Cost Centre details provide a record of where incapacity advices are to be sent (the payroll area) and where cheque reimbursement for payments go (cheque receiving area).

  • standard letters and recoveries rely on accurate employer/Cost Centre information.
