When is the next cull at QF Engineering?

[Jethro Gibbs]

They are full time employees of Forstaff not contractors ffs! at least get your facts right .

To help differentiate employee vs contractor:

Employees usually

1. do ongoing work that is controlled by their employer
2. work hours they’re told to work by their employer
3. are not responsible for financial risk
4. are entitled to superannuation from their employer
5. are entitled to minimum wages
6. have income tax taken out of their pay
7. are paid regularly (weekly / fortnightly / monthly)
8. are generally entitled to paid leave if they are permanent employees.

Independent contractors usually

1. decide how to do their work and what skills they need to do it
2. decide whether to employ someone else to do the work
3. carry the risk of making a profit or loss
4. pay their own superannuation and tax, including GST
5. have their own insurance
6. are contracted to work for a set time or do a set task
7. decide what hours to work
8. invoice for their work or get paid at the end of the contract or project
9. don’t get paid leave.

Of course, this is a test of employee or contractor for Forstaff, not QANTAS, there is clearly not an employment relationship there, there is a commercial relationship between Forstaff and QANTAS.
