Common questions
Do I need an ABN?
No. Under contractor payroll you are our employee, so you are paid through PAYG like any other job.
What does it cost?
A small margin on your contract rate, agreed in writing before you start. No sign-up fee.
What if my client pays late?
Our standard terms let us pay you on schedule. We follow up with the client.
