You're placed by your recruitment company — they remain your employer. PayMe handles the payroll behind the scenes: onboarding in a single business day, a standard payroll fee of 1.75% with discounted rates available through some recruitment-company arrangements, superannuation paid with every pay, and a real person who understands payroll properly answering when you call.
Your fee includes eligible salary sacrificing and fee-free novated leasing through our sister company, Alliance Leasing.
Discounted rates apply for many recruitment companies — enquire for a tailored quote.

How it works
Tell us who you are and which recruitment company placed you. It takes a few minutes and you only do it once.
We liaise directly with your recruitment company for your contract. They remain your employer — we simply run the payroll behind it.
You receive login details to our payroll software to submit your tax file declaration, super choice and bank details electronically. Then you're payroll ready.

Enter your contract rate and see your take-home pay with and without salary sacrifice, side by side. No obligation, no sales call.

Every PayMe contractor gets access to the same benefits normally reserved for permanent staff at large employers.
Fee-free novated leasing through our sister company, Alliance Leasing. No leasing fees on top of your PayMe fee — car payments, fuel, registration, servicing and tyres can be packaged from pre-tax income, one of the biggest post-tax costs a household carries.
The concessional cap increased for FY26-27. We monitor the pre-tax contributions processed through PayMe and give you a heads-up as they approach the general cap — contributions through other employers aren't visible to us.
Eligible salary sacrificing and packaging is included in your PayMe fee. We identify what you're eligible to package and keep it ATO-compliant, then show you a comparative payslip with and without packaging so the benefit is obvious.
Discounts across gym memberships, airport lounges, technology retailers, health insurance and banking — available to every PayMe contractor.
Unpaid leave over Christmas or a family holiday booked? BankIT keeps you paid through the periods you're on holidays.
Why PayMe
You are a name, not a payroll ID. Our team is small enough that the person who onboards you is the person there to help you from day one and beyond.
Contract in, onboarding done the same business day. No delays.
Your recruitment company employs you; PayMe runs the payroll. We keep that clear in every document rather than blurring it.
Versioned terms, auditable consent, correct super and tax treatment — handled quietly in the background.
For recruitment companies
We work to ensure payroll is set up ready to go in advance of your contractor's start date.
Talk to our teamFAQ
Your recruitment company does. You are engaged as a casual labour-hire employee of that company, and your recruitment contract is with them. PayMe's agreement with you is formed through the join form and comes into effect once PayMe accepts your application.
Your pay cycle follows the arrangement between PayMe and your recruitment company. PayMe receives the payment from the recruitment company, deducts its payroll fee and pays your net remuneration. We email you a draft payslip to review before your payment is processed, then a final payslip once it has been paid, and you can download payslips from the Contractor Portal at any time.
We chase it and keep you informed with a named contact rather than silence. Under the PayMe General Terms and Conditions, PayMe is not liable to pay your net remuneration where the recruitment company has not paid PayMe.
There is no separate employment contract with PayMe. Your contract sits between you, your recruitment company and PayMe, and PayMe's part is simply our General Terms and Conditions of service, which apply for as long as you choose to use us. The forms you complete are the standard payroll ones: your tax file number declaration, your superannuation choice form and your bank account details — all submitted electronically through our payroll software once you receive your login details.
We don't apply a one-size-fits-all approach. Timesheets can go on our online portal, be emailed to our timesheets inbox, or be submitted through your recruitment company's own system where they have one. We work with you and your recruitment company so you meet exactly what they require, without adding another layer of timesheet administration on top. We'll confirm which applies to you during onboarding.
No. PayMe pays workers who are employees of recruitment companies. We do not onboard Pty Ltd entities or ABN contractors.
Start the join form and we'll take it from there — including liaising with your recruitment company for your contract.
