Selecting the Right Recruitment Agency

 

I read an article a little while back called “Tips Around Selecting the Right Agency” which I wanted to share with everyone for all the wrong reasons and pull the article apart. When I read back over the article I realised it wasn’t actually a bad article and had some good information, it was simply the title that was wrong!

How to Fill in a Tax File Declaration Form

When filling in an Australian Tax File Number Declaration, we find the same two questions are asked by most candidates.

1) Am I an Australian resident for tax purposes (question 7)
2) Do I want to claim the tax free threshold (question 8)

In short, here are the answers that you should follow:

Question 7
Are you an Australian Resident for Tax Purposes?

- If you are an Australian resident, you would tick YES.
- If you are NOT an Australian Resident you would tick NO. (this includes candidates on Visa’s)

Question 8
Do you wish to claim the tax-free threshold from this payer?

- Tick YES to get taxed at a LOWER rate and have more money in your bank account each week.

International Woman’s Day – Wage Equality (Gender Parity)

By Veronica Fenton – Senior HR and Recruitment Consultant

Equal pay for equal work. In some industries there is a pay gap favouring men.

Women in Australia have been fighting for the right to equal pay since early this century. The principle of equal pay for equal work was recognised in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights

in 1948. Since then, women’s right to equal remuneration has gained increasing international support.
