62 Further additional premium payable after appeal to industrial magistrate
An employer must pay WorkCover an additional premium calculated as prescribed under a regulation if—
the employer’s liability in relation to an assessment has been decided by an industrial magistrate or the industrial court; and
the employer fails to pay WorkCover the amount by which the assessment is more than the amount of premium paid under section 551(4) as a condition of the appeal to an industrial magistrate within 15 business days after the day the decision is made.
WorkCover may recover the amount of the increase in assessment and additional premium payable to it by the employer.
Until the employer has paid WorkCover the full amount of the increase in assessment and any additional premium payable, the employer is not covered by a policy.
