Labour hire payroll questions

Can different workers sit on different host agreements?

Yes. Each placement carries its own agreement rules, so one pay run can span many hosts.

Do you produce charge-out data?

Yes. Costed labour by host, placement and job code after every run.

How fast can a new host EBA be built?

We read and build agreements as part of your included EBA service; typical builds land inside two weeks.

What about portable long service levies?

Reported per state scheme — CoINVEST, QLeave and equivalents — from the same interpreted hours.
