Are you about to take on your first employee? We can help make it easy!
So, your business is growing and you want to put on your first employee – but where do you start?
There are many things to consider when taking on a new employee including:
-
How much do I pay them?
-
Should I employ them as a contractor, casual, part time or full time?
-
Which award are they covered by?
-
Do I need an employment contract with the worker?
-
Do they get leave? If yes, how much?
-
Could I get a government grant when I employ my new worker?
-
Do I need workers compensation?
-
How do I pay their tax and superannuation?
The answer to these questions will depend on your industry, their occupation and your specific business needs. Employment law is ever evolving and staying on top of the changes can be time consuming and complex.
Luckily our HR division can help make taking on your first (or next) employee a smooth process. We can help you avoid any potential underpayment, ensure you have engaged them in the most productive way and are meeting all relevant legislative requirements.
