Quick answers
How long does payroll setup take?
Once your contract reaches us, payroll setup is usually complete within one business day.
Do I need to chase my recruiter for the contract?
No. After you join, PayMe requests the contract directly from your recruitment company and sends them our Professional Indemnity, Public Liability and Workers Compensation certificates. It helps to let your recruiter know you plan to use PayMe for your payroll, so they are expecting our request.
Do I always need to send PayMe a timesheet?
No. If your recruiter pays us by RCTI on Paid When We Get Paid, you only submit your timesheet to your recruiter. You send it to PayMe only when we invoice your recruiter on Paid When We Get Paid, or when you choose Advance Pay.
What is the difference between Advance Pay and Paid When We Get Paid?
Your personalised quote sets out the payroll options available for your placement. Choose your preferred option when you complete the PayMe join form.

Super is paid to our clearing house on the same day your pay is processed. Please allow up to 5 business days for it to appear in your super fund account.

Yes. PayMe contractors can novated lease a car through our sister company, Alliance Leasing, with no leasing fee.
