Setting Up Workers' Compensation
You must configure data in multiple screen to set up workers' compensation for employees.
To set up workers' compensation:
- On the Manage Workers' Compensation Codes screen, set up codes and related descriptions for workers' compensation tracking.
-
On the Configure Labor Settings screen, maintain the workers' compensation feature:
- Allow Edit of Workers' Compensation Code: Select this check box to allow edit of the workers' compensation code (the WC field) on the timesheet line.
- Require Default Workers' Compensation Code: Select this check box in the Timesheet Line Defaults group box to make the Workers' Comp field a required field for all employee records on the Default tab of the Manage Employee Information screen.
- Workers' Compensation: From this drop-down list, select your company's default workers' compensation code.
- On the Configure Workers' Compensation State Rates screen, set up your company-specific workers' compensation information, such as policy number, policy start and end dates, experience modifier, calculation method, and workers' compensation codes rates, by state.
- On the Configure Workers' Compensation Modify Codes screen, you can modify or change the base used to calculate the worker's compensation premium by adding or subtracting any associated pay types.
-
On the Default tab of the Manage Employee Information screen, select a default workers' compensation code in the
Workers' Comp field.
This code is used for this employee for normal timesheet entry lines. If a default workers' compensation code was set up on the Configure Labor Settings screen, that code appears here but it can be modified.
