Frequently Asked Questions
How does payroll work in Australia?
Employers must contribute into a retirement fund, called Superannuation. This is a fixed percentage of an employee’s gross salary. The current rate is 10%, having increased from 9.5% on 1st July 2021.
How long is a working week?
A maximum working week in Australia is 38 hours. Employers can make “reasonable” requests for employees to work additional hours, but overtime usually carries a premium or provides an employee with additional time off.
What about dismissing an employee?
Employment rights are strict in Australia and we suggest consulting one of our local lawyers for more information. Severance pay is required to employees with a year’s service or more. Exact figures vary depending on the length of service.
