When several compensation tasks are outstanding, completing them in the right order matters. Vatco helps coordinate employer registration, earnings returns, assessment review, payment follow-up and Letter of Good Standing requirements under an agreed scope, with clear checkpoints for the work completed and the decisions still pending.
Your requirements · A clear scope · Your next step
Begin with correct registration, then plan earnings reporting and assessment follow-through.
Prioritise the historical periods and reconcile the resulting assessments.
Use a narrower scope where the record is already in order.

| Cost item | Price or basis | What to allow for |
|---|---|---|
| Vatco coordinated compliance package | Quoted by employer, periods and agreed checkpoints | The written package specifies registration, returns, assessment review, allocation or letter assistance actually included. |
| Official assessments and account balances | Employer-specific amounts payable to the issuer | These amounts are not settled by paying the professional package fee. |
| Historical reconstruction or unexpected audit work | Separately assessed where outside the agreed package | Missing payroll years, supporting evidence and newly identified queries can change the work. |
| Ongoing records, renewals or specialist matters | Separate continuing or specialist scope | Future reporting, injury claims, objections and workplace-safety work are not automatically included by the word full. |
The service fee, any amount payable to the authority and additional work are separate. The table identifies the scope to confirm before you proceed.
The first checkpoint is a correctly identified employer record and the authority needed to act.
The next is the return position: which periods are complete, which need preparation and which require correction.
The assessment checkpoint reviews the notices resulting from the declarations and any existing account balances.
The letter checkpoint comes after the applicable account requirements have been addressed.
The agreed scope should identify the employer, periods, applications and follow-up tasks covered. It should state whether the work includes first registration, historical earnings returns, revisions, payment reconciliation or support with letter retrieval. A routine annual update is different from reconstructing several years of missing records, and the quote should reflect that difference.
The word full describes coordination of the agreed employer-administration work. It does not automatically include occupational injury claims, medical evidence, objections, litigation, workplace safety inspections or every other employment obligation. If any of these are involved, disclose them so the appropriate assistance can be identified. Clear boundaries make the package more useful because everyone knows which results it is intended to deliver.
The closing handover should show the employer reference, periods dealt with, submissions made, decisions received and payment position established. Include the current letter where issued, together with its verification and validity details. Keep unresolved matters visible, with their next action and responsible person. A folder of documents is more useful when the business can understand what each one proves.
To begin, explain the outcome you need and supply the latest available employer records. If a contract date is driving the work, share the requirement and deadline so the dependencies can be assessed. We can then propose a practical sequence and quote. Official processing and unresolved account questions may affect timing, so completion should be measured by confirmed checkpoints rather than a blanket promise of instant compliance.
It is useful when several related administrative tasks need coordination, such as registration plus initial returns or historical returns plus payment follow-up. If you only need a straightforward document retrieval, a narrower service may be appropriate. The opening review establishes the work needed rather than automatically charging for every possible task.
The employer reference commonly called a WCA number is part of the relevant registration record, not a second registration that every employer needs. We check for an existing record before applying. Where registration is required, the confirmed reference forms part of the handover alongside the other agreed outcomes.
Professional service fees and amounts assessed by the Fund are separate unless a written quote expressly identifies a particular disbursement arrangement. The employer must understand what is payable, to whom and against which reference. Paying Vatco for administrative assistance does not itself prove that an official assessment has been settled.
Historical work can be included after the affected periods and supporting records are reviewed. The scope may need payroll reconstruction, return preparation, assessment review and payment reconciliation. Each period should be handled on its evidence. A combined package does not erase historical liabilities or guarantee that every issue can be resolved through one submission.
Claims are separate from the core employer-administration package unless expressly included in an agreed additional scope. They involve incident reporting, medical information and other requirements. Tell us promptly if an injury or occupational disease is involved so the claim process is not mistaken for an ordinary registration or annual-return task.
The handover should identify the agreed tasks and their outcomes: the employer record, relevant submission acknowledgements, assessment position, payment allocation and a verified letter where issued. Any unresolved item should remain visible. Completion means the scoped work has evidence behind it; it does not mean every future employer obligation has disappeared.
