Labour Hire is a fantastic way to assist your business in adjusting to fluctuating workloads. Let me help you navigate your way through the labour hire process and what you need to know.
- Reasons why you may require labour hire: Typically prolonged sick leave, annual leave or you’ve picked up a big contract or even ensuring you have the right candidate for the role can be some common reasons. You may also be opening a new premises in a new location and unsure of your staffing requirements.
- They don’t necessarily need to be temporary: So this can be a bit confusing as it is temporary labour hire after all, but temporary labour can be 1 day, 1 month or 1 year. One of the benefits of labour hire is the flexibility. If you have a long term need or vacancy where some flexibility is required, temporary staff will work for you. Your temporary labour hire member can also turn into a valued permanent employee.
- Save Time & Money On Recruitment: We can concentrate on your recruitment needs while you work on your business. Take the pain out of advertising, sifting through resumes and then interviewing. We have already done this for you! All staff come to you fully vetted, interviewed, referenced checked and have the skills or tickets you have requested. All staff come with their PPE requirements, licences validated and Safety Inductions via Workpro.
- Same Temp / Different Roles: Temporary labour hire offers you flexibility in many areas. Yes you can work them as little or as much as you like but they can also be flexible in regards to different roles. So use your temp when and where you need. Maybe you need someone on the road picking up supplies or have them out in the yard. The choice is yours, when you need!
- Easy Billing: No need for you to worry about which Award or levels apply to pay under, no need to worry about organising super and tax. We run payroll for you and supply you with a weekly invoice.
Next time we will be looking at what you should be looking for in your Labour Hire company and what questions you should be asking!
