There is a measure of duplication required when entering both line items (that is, for the permanent impairment and the NEL amounts) as much of the information recorded is the same for both items (such as dates, major groupings and so on).
|
FIELD |
DESCRIPTION |
|
Action code |
This field defaults to 'C'reated and should not be adjusted. |
|
Date of service |
This field should match the dates provided on the first page, relating to 'Invoice date' and 'Date received'. |
|
Financial group |
The broad description of the financial payment type. In this case, 'SUM' should be selected. |
|
Payment type |
The specific description of the payment type. In this case, select 'IMPAR' for one line item and 'NONEC' for the other. |
|
Service item |
Not relevant for permanent impairment claims. |
|
Service provider |
Not relevant for permanent impairment claims. |
|
External invoice no |
Not relevant for permanent impairment claims. |
|
Quantity |
Not relevant for permanent impairment claims. |
|
Amount claimed |
The amount of either the permanent impairment or NEL payment should be entered here. Both line items must then match the total amount entered on page one of the screen. If not, the invoice will not reconcile. |
|
Standard amount |
Not relevant for permanent impairment claims. |
|
Amount determined |
This is the amount being determined. It will differ for each of the permanent impairment and NEL payments. |
|
Comments on chq |
This is optional. A 'Y'es should be entered in this field only when the payee is to be advised about something via text entered on his or her cheque payment. |
|
Comments |
This field is for entry of comments against the line item being determined. Make comments as clear as possible, given space restrictions. |
|
Det status |
This is the status of the payment being determined. It will either be 'A'ccept, 'U'ndetermined, 'R'eject or 'H'old. 'H'old should only be used where determination of a permanent impairment has been made, but the payment is being held pending the 30 day requirement for the employer's right of reply. |
|
Manual cheque |
In most cases, this field will stay as 'N'o. However, in urgent circumstances, there is an option to request a manual cheque. Changing this field to 'Y'es will preclude the payment from being picked up in the weekly pay run, and will involve a manual cheque being issued. |
