In October 2001, ACC consulted on the extra Regulations for the 2002/03 Self-employed Work Account.
ACC has recommended to the Minister for Accident Insurance the following Regulations for ACC CoverPlus Extra for the 2002/03 year.
ACC recommends introducing:
? A lower level of weekly compensation option under ACC CoverPlus Extra policies based on capacity to work. This is a lower priced cover option.
? The ability of non-PAYE shareholder employees to purchase ACC CoverPlus Extra as if they were self-employed.
ACC's recommendations are not binding on the Minister who can accept, reject or modify the corporation's recommendations.
Copies of the detailed recommendations made to the Minister may be obtained by contacting ACC by telephone on (04) 918 7923, or by email: consultation@acc.co.nz
