Christmas 2023 holidays
Christmas time wages – so easy!
If you are closing your office you need to know about public holidays and how they effect wages for your team. Different states declare different public holidays, part-time staff need to be paid their normal hours, they do not need to make up the time on another day.
If your workplace remains open, you need to know about public holiday payrates/loadings and minimum shift lengths.
Check out all the details here or ask us to help.
Fairwork update – fixed term contracts
Fair Work has updated the rules about fixed term contracts
From 6 December 2023, new rules apply when engaging employees on fixed term contracts.
A fixed term contract terminates at the end of a set period (for example, the contract ends on a set date or after a set period of time or a season).
The new rules include a requirement for employers to give any employees they’re engaging on a new fixed term contract a Fixed Term Contract Information Statement (FTCIS).

September quarter BAS
What time is it?
Time to panic!!
The September quarter BAS needs to be lodged TODAY if you want to avoid fines.
Can’t pay it all? Make a payment arrangement.
Late lodgement will breach the terms of any payment plan you have in place with the ATO, and may make it harder to apply for one in the future.
For our clients, it will also mean our annual authority to file STP on your behalf is not valid.
So no more mucking around!
