GMT People looking for Contract work have the option to work under one of two arrangements:

• Business Contractors who have their own Proprietary Limited (Pty Ltd) company or Registered Business and who are engaged under a contract called a Consulting Services Agreement. Business Contractors are required to invoice GMT each pay period and are responsible for managing their own payroll and taxation affairs, including GST payments, PAYG withholdings, superannuation payments and company tax (if applicable).
  
• Pay As You Go (PAYG) Contractors who effectively function as temporary employees of GMT for the duration of their roles and who are engaged under a contract called an Employment Contract. PAYG Contractors do not need to invoice GMT as they automatically receive their fortnightly pay as per any normal employment arrangement. GMT will automatically deduct PAYG Installments and superannuation contributions from the daily rate and pay them on the PAYG Contractor's behalf. Details of these payments will be provided on Pay Slips and Superannuation Contribution Reports.
  

To demonstrate the difference between Business and PAYG Contractors the following serves as an example and is based on an agreed daily rate between GMT and the Contractor of $600 excluding GST.

Business Contractor

• A Business Contractor would receive the full $600 (in fact would invoice GMT for $600 + $60 GST which the Business Contractor must then remit to the ATO) and would then be expected to make all payments as detailed in the "Business Contractors" section above.

PAYG Contractor

• A PAYG Contractor would receive a gross daily payment of $550.45 (ie. pre-tax) of the agreed $600 daily rate. The difference of $49.55 per day ($600 - $550.45) is the amount of superannuation that is deducted from the $600 and will be paid by GMT directly into the Associate's nominated superannuation fund (ie. You get to keep the $49.55 but it gets paid into your superannuation fund). The Federal Government currently requires compulsory superannuation contributions of 9% of gross income, so the calculation is done as follows:
  
  Gross Daily Rate = Agreed Daily Rate ÷ (1 + 0.09) where 0.09 is the decimal representation of 9%.
  
  e.g. Gross Daily Rate = $600 ÷ (1 + 0.09) = $550.45
  
  Working the calculation back the other way yields the following:
  
  Super Contribution = Gross Daily Rate x 9% = $550.45 x 9% = $49.55
  
  Since, Agreed Daily Rate = Gross Daily Rate + Super Contribution
  
  We can see that $600.00 = $550.45 + $49.55
  
  Therefore the PAYG contractor receives $550.45 of the total agreed daily rate before tax. GMT will then deduct from the gross daily rate of $550.45 the appropriate amount of income tax (ie. PAYG withholding) and pay that to the Australian Tax Office on your behalf.

Personal Services Income.

• Prior to making a decision on your preferred method of engagement, GMT strongly advises you to speak to your Accountant or Taxation Law Specialist in relation to the Australian Taxation Office's rulings in relation to Personal Services Income. If you nominate to be engaged by GMT as a Business Contractor, GMT will assume that your enterprise is entirely managing its own affairs in accordance with all statutory and regulatory requirements.

Further Information

• There is a significant amount of information on contracting and consulting located on the Australian Taxation Office's website at www.ato.gov.au and it is reiterated that all potential GMT Associates should seek professional advice prior to entering into any contractual arrangements.

GMT does all time sheeting online with MyGMT, the Group's powerful C3RM. Whilst a full help menu for online time sheeting is available within MyGMT, the information on the "MyGMT | timesheet" screen is used as follows:

• You can use the information to manage your fortnightly timesheets for your current role.
  
• You can use the summary information to determine the number of billable hours or billable days applicable to a given fortnight.
  
• You can download a copy of your timesheet in Rich Text Format for printing, signing and submitting.
  

GMT will use this information to process your timesheets and ensure you are paid correctly.

GMT understands the high cost of gaining appropriate insurance. Accordingly GMT has mechanisms available at a very small cost to provide full insurance coverage for your assignment. Please contact the local GMT office to discuss.

Generally for positions that GMT presents to the market, applicants must have the ability to work in Australia legally. If you are an Australian citizenship, have permanent resident status or a valid working visa, you are encouraged you to apply.
