Global Employment Solutions & PEO in Australia

How Do Omnipresent Global Employment Solutions Work?

Omnipresent provides global employment solutions and professional employment organisation (PEO) services for companies looking to grow and build out a global team in Australia. Traditional methods of establishing global employment and subsidiaries in Australia typically take months and can incur heavy costs. Omnipresent’s global employment solutions and PEO services is helping hundreds of organisations onboard new employees in Australia in a matter of days with full compliance of local labour laws. We use a tech-forward approach to streamline the process. 

• Your company conducts the hiring and candidate selection process in Australia.
• Omnipresent hires the selected candidate through our local professional employment organisation in Australia.
• We take care of ensuring your new employee is hired in compliance with local labour laws, payroll regulations, benefits and more -- all without needing to set up a subsidiary in Australia.
• The individual is legally contracted by Omnipresent but assigned to work for your company and reports to a manager or team in your organisation as your full-time employee.

Employer costs include Superannuation, Government Payroll Tax, and Workers Comp. Use the OmniCalculator to estimate costs, or contact us for further information.

Income tax rates are based on earnings brackets and are different for residents vs. non-residents. This ranges between 0% - 45% for residents and 32.5-45% for non-residents.

Employee Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG) PAYG tax rates vary based on the salary level, and the PAYG tax includes any Medicare Levy that is payable by the employee.

National Employment Standards maximum working hours are 38 hours per week.

Overtime rates apply under the Modern Awards. Awards are either industry-based or occupation-based. If an employee is not an Award employee they do not have a statutory right to be paid overtime.

Employees are entitled 10 days of paid personal sick leave or carer's leave per year.

Maternity leave:

12 months of unpaid maternity leave (after 12 months of continuous service). Employers can provide paid maternity benefits. Paternity leave:

5 days of unpaid leave. Parental leave: Parents can use the Federal Government Scheme for up to 18 weeks of paid parental leave if eligible.

In Australia, employees are entitled to minimum 4 weeks (20 working days) of paid annual leave per year (plus public holidays), accruing progressively.

Severance pay is only due in cases of redundancy.

Australia is an 'unfair dismissal' jurisdiction. It can be difficult to terminate employees in Australia, and procedural fairness and a valid reason is always required. Reasons for termination will vary depending on the number of employees an employer has and the length and type of service.
