Of course, the director can take out his or her own policy with either WorkCover or a private insurer to protect themselves in the event of an accident occurring. But what of the worker being injured? Section 48 of the WCRA requires an employer to enter into a policy of workers’ compensation insurance with WorkCover Queensland (unless of course a self insurance licence is held). If the company does not have such a policy in place then Section 51 of the WCRA enables WorkCover to recover from the employer unpaid premiums. However, if compensation is paid by WorkCover by way of damages for an injury, then the amount of compensation paid, together with penalties of 50% of that payment may also be recovered. However, the WCRA does not go on to hold a director personally liable if a workers’ compensation premium has not been taken out by the company. Therefore, a director will have no liability towards either WorkCover or the injured worker for any claim made by the injured employee pursuant to the WCRA. Common Law The law has long recognised that employers have a duty of care at common law for the health and safety of their workers.
