We have read all the information available but wanted to clarify in this situation if the contractor is considered an employee and therefore eligible for super.
- They are employed by us on a project by project basis and also work for other companies. These projects usually have a set/estimated completion date for handover.
- They will quote prior to commencing the project based on either a) a number of hours to complete a project at a set rate or b) a total amount for the project. They will be hired or not based on their quote.
- There may be a situation where out of scope items may arise and the contractor may need to charge an additional amount to complete the project. This will either be an agreed amount or at times the contractor may need to charge and hourly rate for the out of scope items.
- Once the project is completed, they may/may not move onto another project for us.
- There is the odd time a project may be difficult to quote and the contractor will complete the task on an hourly basis. However it will still be a project/task with an agreed result.
