You must compare payroll companies because cheaper is not always better. Likewise, many large and small payroll companies use voice mail or an outsourced reception service to answer calls so they can make a profit.

You do need you to obtain your own workers compensation, public liability and professional indemnity insurances. It is particularly important to obtain your own public liability and professional indemnity insurance because should your recruitment company's client make a claim based on work you conducted three years after you performed the work, for example they might say you were the cause of an issue that now needs to be fixed at a cost of $4m...your company will be the target for that claim.

We recommend that you call so you can understand this significant risk to your company and your personal assets. PayMe’s own insurance broker, OAMPS, may be able to assist you with your insurance needs in all states and territories. Mention that you receive PayMe services and you will receive a very similar rate as our corporate rate that we do.
