Not sure what questions to ask?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Let us break it down.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Do they pay their workforce as employees or contractors?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If they pay their staff as contractors they may be engaging in \u2018sham contracting.\u2019 Sham contracting arrangements are sometimes set up by employers at the time of entering into a contract to try to avoid the responsibility for paying legal entitlements to employees. More about sham contracting\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fairwork.gov.au\/find-help-for\/independent-contractors\">here on the FairWork website.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Those legal entitlements specifically are Work Cover insurance, withholding tax and superannuation.<\/p>\n<p>If an agency is paying their staff as casual employees, by law they generally must:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Have Work Cover insurance in each state that they provide staff<\/li>\n<li>Withhold tax from staff payments<\/li>\n<li>Pay superannuation ON TOP of their hourly rate<\/li>\n<li>Pay them minimum hourly rates as dictated by Federal Awards<\/li>\n<li>Pay staff regularly \u2013 generally either weekly or fortnightly<\/li>\n<li>Pay staff penalty rates on weekends and outside of standard hours<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If an agency is paying their staff as contractors they may not be doing any of the above and predominantly may not be covering their insurances and may be underpaying them.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. If they are providing staff in VIC, QLD, SA or ACT, do they hold a labour hire licence?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A labour hire provider is a business that has an arrangement in place with one or more individuals to supply the individuals to perform work in and as part of a host\u2019s business or undertaking and is obliged to pay the individual for the work performed for the host.<\/p>\n<p>Staffing agencies often fall into this category and as such, may require a labour hire licence.<\/p>\n<p>Some labour hire providers needs to hold a licence if they want to operate in VIC, QLD, SA &amp; ACT. These are the only 4 states that have labour hire laws at the time of writing.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>While the licences differ across states they generally assess:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If the staff are paid as employees or contractors (to avoid sham contracting). More about that\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fairwork.gov.au\/find-help-for\/independent-contractors\">here.<\/a><\/li>\n<li>If the company has Work Cover policies in all the states they operate (these policies are state based).<\/li>\n<li>Does the company pay staff as per the requirements in a Federal Award<\/li>\n<li>Is the company meeting their superannuation obligations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So if an agency holds a labour hire licence you can be reasonably confident they are compliant in that state.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>More information below about each state\u2019s labour hire licensing:<\/p>\n<p>VIC \u2013\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/labourhireauthority.vic.gov.au\/host\/\">https:\/\/labourhireauthority.vic.gov.au\/host\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>QLD \u2013\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.labourhire.qld.gov.au\/i-use-labour-hire-providers\">https:\/\/www.labourhire.qld.gov.au\/i-use-labour-hire-providers<\/a><\/p>\n<p>ACT \u2013\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.worksafe.act.gov.au\/licensing-and-registration\/labour-hire-licensing\">https:\/\/www.worksafe.act.gov.au\/licensing-and-registration\/labour-hire-licensing<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>What will happen if I use an unlicensed labour hire provider?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In VIC you face penalties exceeding:<\/p>\n<p>$150,000 for an individual<\/p>\n<p>$600,000 for a corporation.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In QLD:<\/p>\n<p>Corporation \u2013 $431,250 (3000 penalty units).<\/p>\n<p>Individual \u2013 $148,638 (1034 penalty units or three years imprisonment).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And in ACT, if you use labour hire services from an unlicensed provider you may face regulatory action, with the maximum infringeable penalty for a corporation being $2,430,000.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>How can I check if my agency holds a labour hire licence?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You can easily check on public registers listed below:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/register.labourhireauthority.vic.gov.au\/LhSearch\/PerformSearch?TotalCount=0&amp;Page=1&amp;PageSize=20&amp;SearchResultsVM=System.Collections.Generic.List%601%5BCav.Gem.PublicRegisterSearch.DomainEntities.LhSearchResult%5D&amp;SearchBy=Name&amp;SoundsLike=False&amp;ApplicationStatus=809080002&amp;LicenceStatus=809080001%2C809080005%2C809080003%2C809080002&amp;chkForce=True&amp;chkSuspended=True&amp;chkCancelled=True&amp;chkRefused=True&amp;PageNumber=0&amp;HideInforce=False#_ga=2.176800229.1503595604.1690498274-780123453.1690353535\">VIC Public Register<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ols.oir.qld.gov.au\/licence-register\/\">QLD Public Register<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.notify.worksafe.act.gov.au\/s\/labour-hire-register\/WSF_License__c\/Default\">ACT Public Register<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are some red flags?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If your agency is charging you a flat rate 7 days per week they are likely paying their staff as contractors, which in our industry, is potentially sham contracting i.e illegal.<\/p>\n<p>If your agency is advertising seriously cheap hourly rates they are likely either:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Not complying with their legal obligations to staff<\/li>\n<li>Running an unprofitable business model.
