In this episode we talk about the difference between contractors and employees because your obligations regarding tax, superannuation and Workers Compensation will differ if you are paying contractors or employees.
As the employer, you’re responsible for getting it right…so we will help you be sure by taking you through the 6 attributes the ATO give you to decide if you need to pay super or withhold tax.
We will also discuss the definition regarding Workers Compensation and explain why it’s different.
You will understand when to pay Superannuation, when to withhold PAYGW and when to include a worker in your Workers Compensation policy and give you tools to determine if you are meeting obligations.
