Some employers may attempt to engage in ‘avoidance arrangements’ to try to avoid their liabilities under the Act. That is, they may ask individuals to incorporate (set up their own company) as a condition of getting a contract for work. Employers commit an offence by engaging in these arrangements.
Fines and penalties
Costs for engaging in an avoidance arrangement could include:
- the employer being liable to pay workers compensation entitlements in accordance with the Act and meet return-to-work obligations if a worker is injured while working for an employer under an avoidance arrangement
- a fine of $5,000 for employers who allow workers to do work for them under an avoidance arrangement
- a $2,000 penalty may be applied to employers (or insurers) who receive money or indemnity from a worker (or the worker’s company) in respect of any compensation liability the employer has to pay.
WorkCover WA provides resources to help employers understand their obligations. Information is available under the Employers tab on the home page on our website. You can also:
- call our Advice and Assistance Service on 1300 794 744
- watch our educational videos (coming soon) about workers compensation insurance
- read our publications (coming soon) about workers compensation, injury management, contractors and noise induced hearing loss.
WorkCover WA uses data-matching processes to identify potential employers and proactively reach out to inform them of their legal obligation to hold a policy of workers compensation insurance.
To educate employers on their obligations we communicate via:
- SMS
- Post
We recognise scams are a serious concern. WorkCover WA communications will refer to the ABN of the potential employer and advise on the legal obligation to hold a policy of workers compensation insurance.
We will never ask you for any personal information such as your date of birth or bank details. Any links in our communications will be to the WorkCover WA website only.
If you are unsure about the legitimacy of any communications, or have any questions about your obligations, contact our Advice and Assistance Service on 1300 794 744.
The CEO may designate staff as inspectors. Inspectors conduct investigations into potential breaches of the Act.
If we have reason to believe an employer has not met their legal obligations, an inspector will investigate as per their authorised functions under the Act.
Inspectors will provide written or verbal notice to the employer being investigated. If the investigation includes a site visitation, the inspector will identify themselves and produce their identity card before exercising a power and must clearly state the power(s) being exercised and for what purpose. These include:
- entering, inspecting and examining any place where it is suspected workers may be employed or books, accounts, documents or records required to be inspected may be held
- conducting investigations and taking recordings as necessary to ascertain whether there has been compliance with the Act
- interviewing any person who the inspector has reasonable grounds to believe is able to provide information that may be able to assist the inspector to perform a function under the Act
- requiring people to verify statements by signing a statutory declaration form
- requiring auditor certification of remuneration paid to workers
- requiring any person to state their full name, date of birth and address
- requiring any person at the place to give the inspector reasonable help to exercise the inspector’s powers
- seizing any thing at the place that is or may afford evidence of a contravention of the Act.
Not responding and/or not providing documents when requested may lead to enforcement actions.
Breaches of the Act will result in the following enforcement actions:
- caution notice
- infringement notice
- criminal prosecution.
Caution notice
Caution notices serve as formal warnings to employers and advise that the current offence will be considered in determining the response to future non-compliance.
Where an employer has previously received a caution notice and further non-compliance is detected, an infringement notice will be issued, or prosecution will be commenced.
Infringement notice
Infringement notices are issued with a modified penalty as specified in WorkCover WA regulations. A modified penalty is a penalty which is not imposed by a court. Paying a modified penalty is not an admission of guilt for the purposes of any proceedings, whether civil or criminal.
If an employer receives an infringement notice, they will need to:
- pay the full amount, or
- apply to WorkCover WA for limited extensions of time to pay (there is no option to pay by instalments), or
- elect to have the matter dealt with in court, or
- request the infringement be withdrawn if there is information that demonstrates a breach did not occur.
If the infringement is not paid, the employer may be prosecuted or enforcement action may be taken under the Fines, Penalties and Infringement Notices Enforcement Act 1994.
Under the Fines, Penalties and Infringement Notices Enforcement Act 1994 some or all of the following action may be taken:
- driver’s licence may be suspended
- vehicle licence may be suspended or cancelled
- disqualified from holding or obtaining a driver’s licence, or number plates removed
- details may be published on a website
- earnings or bank accounts may be garnished
- property may be seized and sold.
Prosecution
If an employer does not hold the required insurance cover they can be prosecuted through the Magistrates Court and penalised up to $10,000 for each worker employed. Additionally, an amount equal to the total of any avoided insurance premium payments which would have been payable during the period of 5 years before the conviction may also be payable. Corporations, as defined by the Corporations Act 2001, may be subject to greater penalties.
WorkCover WA’s prosecutorial discretion is guided by the Statement of Prosecution Policy and Guidelines issued by the Director of Public Prosecutions.
More information can be found at Statement of Prosecution Policy and Guidelines.
