# How to pay superannuation for someone who is on WorkCover

KB153

### Overview

When an employee is injured and is being paid through WorkCover (workers’ compensation), you still need to pay their superannuation. If you use a special pay item for WorkCover and pay them through regular payroll, then superannuation will be accrued just as normal

However, if you pay them manually and not through payroll, you will still need to accrue and pay their superannuation.
