Thumbs up WorkCover a Must

Threegreens,

A very valid point about WorkCover. Had a mate recently hurt himself as a full-time tandem jump master and he went to make a claim against workcover as the injury was sustained on the job. Alas; NO WORKCOVER. The business has never paid any workcover premiums despite employing 4 full-time jumpies and up to 10 part-time pilots over the past 5 years.............now maybe the ATO should get involved in this one too 'cause, a dime to a dollar; they will not be coughing up tax component either?
Suggest ANYONE thinking of seeking work in the parachuting game in the Wollongong area might be well-advised to check into these aspects of the deal before they start.

(and who thought only the pilots were getting ripped?)
