Tell your site supervisor and your consultant as soon as you know, so we can cover the shift.

As a casual, you aren't paid for hours you don't work. If you see a doctor, get a medical certificate.

FAQs

Quick answers

What will I be paid?

It depends on your skills, experience, role and location. Your consultant confirms your rate before you start.

Do I get allowances?

Some jobs pay meal, site, fares or travel allowances, depending on the job and award. Ask your consultant.

Is there overtime?

When the site offers it, paid at penalty rates. Top performers are offered it first.

I forgot to clock on. What now?

Open your shift link and type in your start time. We'll check it with the site before it's paid.

Do I need a tax file number?

Yes. You add it in FlareHR during onboarding.

How does super work?

We pay 12% into the fund you choose. The construction industry fund is CBUS.

How much notice do I give to leave?

It's in your contract: anywhere from 1 hour to 1 month, depending on the role.

I'm on a working holiday visa. Can I go permanent?

Probably not, but check with a registered migration agent about your situation.

Any interview tips?

Look up the company, dress neat, and bring a question. Our director's favourite: "Who has done this job before, and where are they now?"
