Payroll services for contractors in Australia

Every PayMe contractor gets salary packaging, superannuation optimisation and benefits normally reserved for permanent staff at large employers — for a standard 1.75% payroll fee, with discounted rates available through some recruitment-company arrangements and no hidden charges. That fee includes eligible salary sacrificing and fee-free novated leasing through our sister company, Alliance Leasing.

Salary packaging

Eligible salary sacrificing and packaging is included in the PayMe fee. Certain expenses can be paid from pre-tax income through payroll instead of out of your bank account after tax.

Who these services are for

PayMe pays workers who are employees of recruitment companies. We do not onboard Pty Ltd entities or ABN contractors. If you have been placed on a contract by a recruitment company, you are in the right place.
