Contractor Engagement

SymbionHR as the legal engager (employer or principal contractor)

So what does contractor engagement mean to you as an agency? Typically, under a full engagement model, SymbionHR becomes the legal engager of that individual. This may be under a standard PAYG (employee) arrangement, or it may also be under a sub-contractor arrangement depending on what is deemed best for all stakeholders. Applicable insurance coverage is granted depending on the engagement method.

Contractors fully engaged through our organisation are able to access our value added and discounted partner services, including online services such as timesheeting, leave management and payslip reports. This may enable you to offer your potential contractors and clients a higher level of service than currently available, for far less than it would cost you to develop and maintain internally.

SymbionHR will tailor the engagement model to your business preferences and the level of involvement in the process, whilst advising on the avoiding any pitfalls which may increase risk or non-compliance.
