Our business is based in NSW. We are now expanding and hiring employees from other states. They will sometime have to travel around (mostly for visiting suppliers/ customers) but mostly work remotely in their states. This is the first time we hire people not from NSW so we are not sure on what we need to do.

  • Could you please advise/ guide us on how to set this up?
  • Are there any differences in the worker compensation? Do we need to have another worker compensation policy for these staff?
  • Do we need to register for payroll tax?

Thank you so much.

Hi @vic.pham,


It's fantastic to read the business is expanding.


For payroll purposes, you'll set the employees up in single touch payroll. This is where you'll record salary and wages along with other payments, pay as you go withholding and super liability information. It's important you fulfill your pay as you go withholding obligations. This is an extra role the business will need to investigate.


The best place to start is to check out the information about workers compensation on the Fair Work ombudsman website.


Because you'll be hiring new workers, you'll need to get from them either an online commencement form or TFN declaration and standard choice super form. This'll let you know how to tax them and where to contribute their super.
