The Supplementary Rates for Oncost Calculation field is not locked down after an oncost rate has been used during the pay and bill interpretation process. This provides the flexibility to toggle the option on or off at any time. However, please be aware that toggling the option while there are active job orders that are subject to the oncost can result in the oncost being calculated differently for different periods during the life of the job order. The Supplementary Rates for Oncost Calculation field is unavailable for bill oncosts that have the WorkCover AU option enabled because the rate for such oncosts is defined by the WorkCover rate that applies to a job order. |
