Frequently asked questions
Yes. We manage Superannuation Guarantee contributions (currently above 11% of ordinary earnings and scheduled to keep rising), PAYG income tax withholding, and compliance with the National Employment Standards under the Fair Work Act. We also identify whether a role is covered by a Modern Award or enterprise agreement, since these set minimum pay rates and conditions by industry that sit above the general statutory minimums.
Superannuation above the statutory minimum, private health insurance (which also affects an employee’s Medicare Levy Surcharge), and additional paid leave beyond the statutory 20 days annual leave are the most common differentiators in Australia. Salary packaging arrangements, which allow certain expenses to be paid pre-tax, are also widely used in Australian employment offers.
Statutory minimum notice under the Fair Work Act ranges from one to five weeks depending on length of service and age, and redundancy pay is separately mandated on a sliding scale for employees with at least a year of service at businesses above the small business threshold. Unfair dismissal protections apply after a minimum employment period, generally six months, or twelve months for small businesses.
An EOR can typically onboard within a few days to a week once a Tax File Number and superannuation fund details are provided, compared with the several weeks needed to register an Australian company with ASIC, obtain an ABN, and set up PAYG withholding and superannuation clearing accounts. This makes an EOR a fast option for companies testing the Australian market before committing to entity setup.
Correctly identifying the applicable Modern Award or enterprise agreement, and managing Superannuation Guarantee obligations, requires ongoing local knowledge that’s easy to get wrong from overseas. An EOR takes on that compliance role and the associated liability, letting you hire in Australia quickly without incorporation costs, which is typically the right call until your Australian headcount justifies a local entity.
