Payroll Process

Morgan McKinley payroll for contractors is paid weekly a week in lieu.

Individual PAYG (Pay As You Go)

This type of payroll is typical of most employees/individuals. Funds are deposited weekly into the contractor’s bank account and taxed accordingly. A Tax File number will be required.

3rd Party Payroll

These companies offer financial incentives or Visa’s to our contractors if they allow their payroll to be processed through them. We are happy for our contractors to do this as long as it’s discussed with the Contract Admin team first. Once a contractor is payrolled through a 3rd Party payroll company they effectively become their employee and we aren’t held responsible if wages or superannuation payments aren’t received.

If a contractor elects to be paid by a third party provider after commencing their assignment, Morgan McKinley must be notified of this giving two weeks’ notice in writing.

Limited Companies

These Contractors are requesting to be payrolled through their LTD business. Below is a list of the documents that are required to set up a Limited Company for payroll. There are no exceptions if these documents aren’t received they will be payrolled as PAYG and a Tax File number will be required.

Evidence of Incorporation/Partnership/Trust Deed
Certificate of Currency for Insurances
- Workers Compensation
- Public Liability (minimum amount $10,000,000)
- Professional Indemnity (seek professional consultation from your Accountant/Financial Advisor/Insurance Company)

I have worked with Morgan McKinley’s Accounting and Finance recruitment team for 7+ years and I can say that they are the best recruiters that I have worked with in my 20 year career. I will rarely engage other recruiters because I know they have their clients’ best interests at heart.

The candidates provided by Morgan McKinley for positions within IT and Business Transformation are always excellent. In addition to finding candidates who are technical, extremely competent they look outside Australia for the relatively scarce competency that I need. Our consultant has taken the time to get to know both myself and the organisation I work for. They have grasped our culture and only send candidates who will be a good fit. This considerably reduces the cycle time to fill placements, and reduces the effort required on my part to do so.

Recruiting staff can be a time consuming and arduous process. Morgan McKinley and our dealings with their consultant were refreshing and showed a more professional and structured approach to finding the right candidate. Their attention to detail was not just ensuring candidates have the required skill sets but also ensuring a candidates personality would fit well within our firm and office. I would warmly recommend Morgan McKinley to firms recruiting technologists in the finance sector.

Morgan McKinley’s Accounting and Finance team has been a valuable recruitment partner. I found their insights around the market in terms of skills in finance and what other companies are doing in certain roles and structures in finance to be very useful and helpful in putting the competency skills set for different roles.
