WorkCover Premium Surges from Unreported Contractor Hours
Definition
Renewable installs in remote areas (e.g. NT projects) involve high-risk work; manual coordination fails to capture billable hours for WorkCover, causing audits and premium uplifts.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: AUD 5-20% premium increase (typical 2-5% payroll factor); AUD 2,000-10,000 adjustment per audit failure.
- Frequency: Annual premium reconciliation; per project audit.
- Root Cause: Manual delays in contractor timesheets and idle equipment during coordination.
Why This Matters
The Pitch: Renewable energy equipment firms in Australia 🇦🇺 face AUD 10,000+ annual premium hikes per project. Automation of hours logging prevents underreporting fines.
