Employer of Record FAQs in Australia
What is an Employer of Record in Australia?
An Employer of Record (EOR) in Australia is a third-party organization that becomes the legal employer of your workforce, handling all employment administration, payroll, tax compliance, superannuation contributions, and statutory benefits. This allows your company to hire Australian employees without establishing a local entity, while maintaining full operational control over their work.
How quickly can I hire employees in Australia using Asanify's EOR?
With Asanify’s EOR service, you can hire employees in Australia within 3-5 business days. Once you select your candidate, we handle contract preparation, Fair Work Act compliance verification, superannuation fund setup, and onboarding documentation, enabling your new hire to start working almost immediately without entity establishment delays.
Does using an EOR create permanent establishment risk in Australia?
When structured correctly, using an EOR significantly reduces permanent establishment (PE) risk in Australia. Asanify acts as the legal employer, maintaining the employment relationship and statutory obligations. However, PE risk depends on various factors including business activities, decision-making authority, and operational presence. We recommend consulting with tax advisors for your specific situation.
How does superannuation work with an EOR in Australia?
Asanify manages all superannuation obligations as required by Australian law. We calculate and contribute the mandatory Superannuation Guarantee (currently 11.5% of ordinary time earnings) on behalf of your employees, ensure timely quarterly payments to compliant superannuation funds, and handle all reporting requirements to the Australian Taxation Office.
What employment benefits are mandatory in Australia?
Australian employees are entitled to statutory benefits under the National Employment Standards, including: 4 weeks annual leave, 10 days personal/carer’s leave, long service leave (varies by state), parental leave entitlements, public holidays, notice periods for termination, and the Fair Work Information Statement. Asanify ensures all mandatory benefits are provided and properly administered.
Which Modern Award applies to my Australian employees?
Modern Awards are industry and occupation-specific instruments that set minimum employment conditions in Australia. The applicable Award depends on the industry and job role. Asanify’s compliance team identifies the correct Modern Award for each employee, ensuring proper classification, minimum wages, penalty rates, allowances, and entitlements are applied accurately.
How is payroll processed for Australian employees?
Asanify processes payroll according to your preferred cycle (monthly or fortnightly, as common in Australia). We calculate gross wages, apply PAYG tax withholding, process superannuation contributions, manage salary sacrifice arrangements if applicable, and ensure employees receive compliant payslips. Payments are made in Australian Dollars (AUD) to local bank accounts.
Can I terminate an employee through an EOR in Australia?
Yes, Asanify manages compliant termination processes in Australia. We ensure adherence to Fair Work Act requirements including minimum notice periods (or payment in lieu), final pay calculations including accrued leave entitlements, redundancy pay where applicable, and proper documentation. Our team guides you through the process to minimize unfair dismissal risks.
What are the costs of using an EOR in Australia?
Asanify’s EOR pricing in Australia is transparent and competitive. Costs typically include a service fee based on employee salary, plus the employee’s gross salary, employer superannuation contributions (11.5%), WorkCover insurance, payroll tax (varies by state), and other statutory obligations. This is significantly more cost-effective than establishing and maintaining a legal entity in Australia.
