Good morning, my understanding is that although workers compensation is not considered OTE through the ATO , where a person is receiving payments for workers compensation through a direct employer the super guarantee is still payable. I note I have checked the EBA which states this must be paid and also Fair Work, however as the ATO site states not OTE and therefore not payable so there is some confusion in this instance. Can you please confirm which is correct.

HI @tresalgbp
It depends if the employee has returned to work.
If the employee isn't working, the workers compensation payments are not treated as salary or wages or OTE for SG.
Check out your relevant state or territory workers compensation authority for any further advice.
