Who is my employer when I am in a Temporary Assignment? Recruit Solutions is your employer. We pay your wages and provide your Group Certificate. You will need to contact us if your assignment at any time changes in duration or duties required. Back to Top
What about Superannuation? Your superannuation entitlements are contributed by Recruit Solutions to the Super company of your choice on your behalf. This is calculated at a Government legislated rate, currently 9% in addition to your hourly rate once you have earned more than $450.00 in a month. Back to Top
Once I am registered do I have to accept an assignment? No you are not obliged to accept an assignment if you are unable to commit for any reason. Things to consider before accepting an assignment include:
- Can I commit to the length of time required?
- Am I able to work the hours specified?
- Do I have any appointments/holidays booked during the duration of the assignment?
- Will I feasibly be able to travel to the location specified every day?
Once you have accepted an assignment you are expected to be committed for the duration where possible. Back to Top
When / How do I get paid? As Recruit Solutions remains your employer throughout any temporary assignment that you undertake through us, you are paid by us. It is your responsibility to submit your timesheet to Recruit Solutions by the close of business on Friday of each week that you work. You will be paid directly into your bank account every second Tuesday. Back to Top
How much do I get paid? As a temporary staff member you are paid a casual hourly rate. You do not get paid for time that you don't work - this means that you don't get sick pay, holiday pay or public holiday pay. Rates for each assignment vary - your consultant will advise you of your rate before you accept each assignment. Back to Top
What is the dress code? As our clients are within the Corporate / Professional arena, most assignments will require you to wear corporate attire. Any exceptions to dress code will be communicated to you by your consultant. Back to Top
How much notice will I get before I start an assignment? This again will vary and will depend on the nature of the assignment. In some cases we can give you a few weeks notice if the client books in advance. In other circumstances we may get informed as late as the day that you are needed. We will give you as much notice as possible. Back to Top
What do I do if I am sick? You must contact Recruit Solutions as soon as you know that you are unable to attend your assignment that day. You will not be paid for any days that you are sick. Back to Top
Can I leave my mobile phone on? Please ensure that your phone is turned off for your assignment. Also any unauthorised use of emails or internet is prohibited whilst on assignment. If you are required to make an urgent personal call, please ask your supervisor. Back to Top
