WHY JOIN PERK PAYROLL?
Every dollar you earn as a contractor needs to be managed by you or a payroll services provider.
When you work as a permanent employee, you typically have a Human Resources Department or a Payroll team who manages your employee compliance, training and payroll needs; and you can normally have your pay tailored to meet your specific needs.
Working as a contractor you have the option to operate your own company, become an “employee” of the recruitment agency or elect to use a payroll services company like Perk Payroll. Choosing a payroll services company is an important decision, as you are trusting people with your money and you will want to ensure that there are clear benefits for you.
When you join Perk Payroll, you can be sure we’ll look after your hard-earned money, ensure you are making the most of it each week and we’ll provide you with a heap of benefits that you normally miss out on when working as an independent contractor. Our payroll services, amazing benefits and the savings that we produce for you, are all yours for 2% of your hourly rate. We may also be able to negotiate a rate increase switching you from a PAYG contractor to a Company (ABN) contractor, which negates this fee…
So, the question should really be “Why not join Perk Payroll?”
