24.01.2022 We often get asked the question ‘What’s the difference between an Employee and a Contractor?’ and you can beat that the next question we get asked is ‘What’s the risk if I just pay a someone through an ABN, surely that means they are a contractor?’ Reality is the onus is on the employer to ensure that they are correctly engaging and paying their workers. The risk if you get it wrong is the courts may impose a maximum penalty of $12,600 for individuals and $63,000 for corporations, per contravention. #purpleplaygroundau #outsourcedhr #hrsolutions #humanresources #givingeveryday #leveragingtalent #influencingabettertomorrow #meaningfulimpact #hr #purposebeyondprofit #flexworkfulllife

21.01.2022 ~ Shaping Peace Together ~ Each year the International Day of Peace is observed around the world on 21 September. The UN General Assembly has declared this as a day devoted to strengthening the ideals of peace, through observing 24 hours of non-violence and cease-fire. This year, it has been clearer than ever that we are not each other’s enemies. Rather, our common enemy is a tireless virus that threatens our health, security and very way of life. COVID-19 has thrown our worl...d into turmoil and forcibly reminded us that what happens in one part of the planet can impact people everywhere. The 2020 theme for the International Day of Peace is Shaping Peace Together. Celebrate the day by spreading compassion, kindness and hope in the face of the pandemic. Stand together with the UN against attempts to use the virus to promote discrimination or hatred. Join us so that we can shape peace together.

15.01.2022 ~ Outsourced Recruitment ~ The time and money spent on recruitment can be pretty brutal. We’ve seen it and we get it. No employer ever goes out to hire a mismatch, yet it happens a lot and leaves many scratching their heads. People are a number one resource (and often one of the biggest expenses) and the best thing a business can do is adopt a winning hiring approach. One that works and moves a business towards its goals. ... Whilst anyone can tackle recruitment there is an art to ‘catching the right fish,’ so to speak. Purple Playground’s Outsourced Recruitment process has been built from the perspective of the employer. By combining best practice recruitment and promoting your employer brand we have found an approach that works. Reach out to us today to discuss how we can support your recruitment needs. #purpleplaygroundau #outsourcedhr #hrsolutions #humanresources #givingeveryday #leveragingtalent #influencingabettertomorrow #meaningfulimpact #hr #purposebeyondprofit #flexworkfulllife

09.01.2022 What is time sheet fraud? Well, remember that kid from school who was always trying to figure out a way to change the grades on their report card? Well they are still out there and now they are an adult and trying to figure out a way to scam company time sheets. ADP Payroll conducted a survey of workers who get paid for every hour they log and 43% admitted to exaggerating the amount of time they work during their shifts. With those results, it is no surprise that cases of ti...mesheet fraud continue to be heard across The Fair Work Commission (Commission). Most recently, the Commission upheld a summary dismissal of a hospital cleaner who spent around one third of his time ‘on break’ in the tearoom. The employer dismissed the worker for serious misconduct after discovering the conduct, arguing that it amounted to, ‘time fraud/theft (in that the employee was paid for time worked when he had removed himself from duties without authorisation)’. What can business leaders do to limit the risk of timesheet fraud? #purpleplaygroundau #outsourcedhr #hrsolutions #humanresources #givingeveryday #leveragingtalent #influencingabettertomorrow #meaningfulimpact #hr #purposebeyondprofit #flexworkfulllife

07.01.2022 We have noticed over recent time that some businesses are struggling to find a balance between automation and a human-centric approach to their employee experience. Automating processes can save time and money but if not used thoughtfully can negatively impact retention, productivity and employee engagement. Systemising the process and humanising the experience is something that we discuss with our clients on a regular basis. One of the most important tools that you have at y...our disposal as Manager is the one-on-one conversation with your employee. There are ways to be able to create efficiencies and consistency in one-on-one conversations without taking away the human-centric approach. #purpleplaygroundau #outsourcedhr #hrsolutions #humanresources #givingeveryday #leveragingtalent #influencingabettertomorrow #meaningfulimpact #hr #purposebeyondprofit #flexworkfulllife
