For employers in Launceston
Hire a remote payroll administrator in Launceston
Timesheets in, payroll out, starters and leavers, statutory deductions, and the queries that come the day after payday. Employed directly by your Launceston business, recruited and vetted by us in Manila, Johannesburg, Bogota or Dhaka.
The clock
What time it is where they are, when it is 9 to 5 in Launceston
This is the question that decides whether a remote hire works for you, so here it is worked out in full. We recruit from four places and they suit different hours.
The southern states move their clocks in October and April. Queensland, the Northern Territory and Western Australia do not. Our own teams do not change their clocks, so the gap moves by an hour when yours does. We set working hours in the contract, in writing, before anyone starts.
How we test them
What a payroll administrator has to do before you meet them
A payroll run with awkward cases in it: a mid-month leaver, a backdated rise, an unpaid week.
Usual software: BrightPay, Sage Payroll, Gusto, ADP. If your Launceston office runs something else, say so and we will test on it.
Before you see a name
Five stages, and most people do not get through
Remote hiring goes wrong when somebody is picked from a CV and a friendly video call. Every person we put forward has been through all five of these.
Skills assessment for the actual job
Not a general aptitude test. A bookkeeper reconciles a real set of books, a marketing assistant writes a real email.
English at C1 or above
Spoken and written, assessed by a person. C1 is the level at which somebody can handle a difficult customer without you rewriting the reply.
Video interview with our team
Recorded, and you get the recording along with the CV.
Background and reference checks
Identity, address, and two references we ring ourselves.
A practical task from your own work
You send us something real. They do it. You see the result before you commit to anybody.
How it works
They work for you, not for us
Employment
Employed directly by your company
No middleman in the arrangement, no percentage skimmed off their pay, and no ongoing agency fee attached to their salary.
Timing
Live in one to four weeks
There is no permit and no visa, because nobody moves country. That is the whole reason this route is quick.
Cost
Typically 50 to 70 per cent below a local hire
The saving is the local cost of living where they are, not a lower standard of work. We pay properly at the local level, which is why people stay.
If it does not work
Replacement cover
If a remote hire does not work out inside the cover period, we replace them and charge no second recruitment fee.
