Do you know if your new worker is an employee or a contractor? When you employ a worker, it's important to correctly classify them because it affects:
tax, super and other obligations, such as workers compensation insurance
workers' entitlements.
Correctly working out whether a worker is an employee or contractor helps to build a more level playing field for all Australian businesses.
To help small businesses make this decision, we're drafting a new public ruling and practical compliance guideline.
