An EOR and a staffing agency are priced on different things. One takes a slice of first-year salary once, the other a flat fee every month. Which you pick should turn on cashflow.
Employment Hero's HeroForce publishes its Employer of Record fee in a help centre article, not on the Philippines product page. What that $400 to $600 band does across three hires.
The ATO says contractors paid mainly for their labour are eligible for super guarantee. The exemption is for non-resident employees working outside Australia. Residency and location decide it, not the contract.
From 1 October the Reserve Bank removes card surcharging, so the $1.8 billion of fees Australian merchants used to pass on has to land somewhere else. Staffing fees behave the same way, and most of them are already invisible.
An EOR fee is a published number. What your own entity costs to maintain is not, and Australia's move to payday super this year is a worked example of who ends up carrying a rule change.
A record 6.9 per cent of Australians now hold more than one job. That familiarity is doing damage to how founders read the contractor test, and the ATO's list never mentioned other clients.
Private sector wages rose 1.4 percent in the June quarter while output per hour did not move. Here is what a head actually costs, itemised, with the published fees against it.
