Summary

You can use these tab fields to calculate the employee’s total pre-injury earnings. Each state in Australia uses different criteria to determine an employee’s pre-injury earnings so you have to complete these fields manually. You could use values directly from the employee's record, but most organisations will have to calculate these values. If you need to calculate these values, then you have to create a customised Pre-Injury Earnings Report that uses your state-specific criteria.
