aurora Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 hello. if you work in private practice (allied health) does the employer still pay Super, or does it depend on the basis on which you are employed? frustrating that job adverts for private sector often don't include pay!

Quoll Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 All employers are required to pay into your superannuation. Some will quote a salary as inclusive of superannuation which isnt such a good deal as that will include the 9.5% (or whatever it is these days) for super.

They are, but close to a third of employers underpay it or don't pay at all - another national scandal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In which case they can be reported and subject to legal scrutiny but I quite take the point that there are some charlatans out there trying to avoid their obligations.

It doesn't matter if you are an employee or a contractor they still have to pay Super. The only exceptions are if you have your own company or are providing a contract for services. Your company is responsible for paying your Super (based on how much it pays you not how much the employer that employs your company pays). A contract for services (unlike a contract of service which is an employment relationship) means the risk of performing (or not performing) the service has been passed to you (hence a business relationship) rather than being paid on an hourly or other time related rate.

I work for the NHS in the UK so not familiar with how pp works here, but just wondered how it works in Australia to take into account when considering salaries.

It's hard work, long hours and I don't know whether I'm coming or going in all the different locations, but it's all good experience [emoji16] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
