Queensland Health exemptions to the On-time Payment Policy

Invoices paid using a Government Corporate Credit Card

• Department transaction limit on 97% of corporate credit cards issued to staff would not normally entitle an interest penalty payment based on current thresholds.
• Specific details of each invoice are not captured in the primary financial reporting system (SAP) used by Queensland Health resulting in delays in the assessment.

Invoices submitted via a bulk account arrangement with the supplier

• Where an arrangement between Queensland Health and a supplier results in invoices being provided over a defined period (e.g. monthly) for charges incurred during that period.
• This exemption reinforces this existing principle as defined as the calculation date in the On-time Payment Policy.

Invoices initiated or identified as outstanding by Queensland Health as part of normal business operations. These include:

• the review of supplier provided statements listing invoices outstanding during a period
• investigations into discrepancies where goods and/or services have been provided but no invoice has been received.

• Investigations made by Queensland Health staff to resolve discrepancies in statements or financial records would ordinarily result in an invoice date being adjusted to reflect the date of receipt of the invoice.
• This exemption reinforces this existing principle as defined as the calculation date in the On-time Payment Policy.
