Whilst this can be done verbally, it is not advisable as the contract must include all ten of the entitlements and conditions from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fairwork.gov.au\/employee-entitlements\/national-employment-standards\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">National Employment Standards<\/a> (NES), plus any terms applicable under the relevant Modern Award or Agreement, depending on the type of assignment they are undertaking.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s unlikely your candidate, no matter how brilliant, would be able to retain all that information if they\u2019ve only been provided it verbally. Should there come a time where you\u2019re in dispute with the employee, there will be no way of proving you have done your bit in fully disclosing the conditions of employment.<\/p>\n<p>Another factor to consider is whether you are covered by one of the recent Labour Hire licensing schemes recently established in Queensland, Victoria and South Australia. Under these laws, the decision to only provide your employee with verbal information leaves you further exposed, with penalties for a breach ranging from $130,000 plus three years imprisonment for an individual to more than $500,000 for corporations, not to mention the potential damage to your company\u2019s reputation.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>What is your current process and how closely do you follow it?<\/h3>\n<p>Best practice is, of course, to provide a written contract to all employees, regardless of whether they\u2019re working a four-hour shift or a six-month contract. Gone are the days where you could simply text the job details to your candidate and move on to filling your next job.<\/p>\n<p>The administrative burden of sending a temp or contractor out to work has changed enormously over recent years and in order to satisfy the various governing bodies, a written employment contract typically the best option for all employees \u2013 temp or perm, casual or labour-hire, PAYG or ABN.<\/p>\n<p>It is not uncommon for some less scrupulous recruiters to send people out to work without advising them of their work rights at all \u2013 either verbally or in writing. The long list of conditions that need to be relayed can often land this task in the \u201ctoo hard\u201d basket.<\/p>\n<p>What some may fail to realise, in their haste to fill the next job, is that sending a physical contract serves as a safety net for both the business and the consultant, keeping all parties safe against potential disputes and litigation.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, from a candidate\u2019s perspective, working for an agency that has a watertight, consistent process for always issuing employment contracts (or assignment notices) gives peace of mind that the employment agreement they\u2019re entering into is squeaky clean and all above board since they have a physical copy they can refer back to and are aware of their rights.<\/p>\n<p>This is essentially the minimum a candidate should expect from their recruiter and with the opportunity to include digital signing software, there is no excuse for allowing a candidate to commence a role without a signed contract in place.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s face it: you wouldn\u2019t work with a client without signed terms of business, so why would you expect a temp to work without a signed contract?<\/p>\n<h3>What should you do next?<\/h3>\n<p>We strongly advise all recruitment businesses to carefully audit their operations and identify whether they are meeting the minimum standards of compliance. All documentation relating to contractual arrangements should be reviewed as part of this process, ensuring all candidates are being notified of their employment conditions each and every time they undertake a new assignment. Sending these automatically and therefore reducing the administrative burden of doing so is now possible through Ratescalc\u2019s new <em>Assignment Confirmation<\/em> feature.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ratescalc.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ratescalc<\/a> seamlessly captures all pay and allowance items from the award\/agreement and issues the information directly to the candidate as a bespoke and fully customisable employment contract or assignment notice letter. Ratescalc is also fully integrated with Secured Signing, meaning your candidate can sign the agreement on the go from their mobile device. And lastly, the signed contract is stored in Bullhorn against both the Job and the Candidate in the Files tab for added visibility.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bullhorn.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/07\/Col-Levander-Col-Levander-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"159\" height=\"212\" class=\"wp-image-17657 alignleft\" \/>About Col:<\/strong> Col Levander is an Industry veteran and contingent staffing industry expert with over 20 years\u2019 experience in market and 6 years in technology solution design.
