Fair Work Act Subcontractor Non-Compliance Penalties
Definition
Subcontractor coordination involves engaging specialized surveyors who must be treated as employees for superannuation and payroll tax if misclassified. Failure triggers penalties.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: AUD 6,000+ per breach for underpayment; SG charge up to 200% of shortfall plus interest
- Frequency: Per non-compliant subcontractor engagement
- Root Cause: Manual tracking of subcontractor hours and payments without STP Phase 2 integration
Why This Matters
The Pitch: Surveying firms in Australia waste AUD 10,000+ annually on subcontractor penalties. Automation of payroll verification eliminates this risk.
