Types of Employment
Full-Time: This arrangement typically involves staff working 38 hours a week, providing dedicated support to your household. Full-time employees are entitled to benefits such as annual leave, sick leave, and superannuation contributions.Part-Time: If you need assistance for fewer hours each week, part-time employment is a great option. This allows you to enjoy the flexibility of tailored support while still providing your staff with rights to holiday pay and sick leave on a pro-rata basis.Casual: For those requiring more flexible arrangements, casual staff can be employed on an as-needed basis. While casual workers receive a higher hourly rate to account for the lack of guaranteed hours, they do not receive entitlements like sick pay or holiday pay, making this an economical choice for short-term needs.ABN: If you prefer a more independent working relationship, you can also consider hiring a candidate who operates under an Australian Business Number (ABN). This option may be suitable for individuals providing services like cleaning or childcare as contractors. Keep in mind that hiring through an ABN means different obligations, including the absence of employer responsibilities for superannuation, holiday pay, or sick leave.
