Hire staff

Good employees can be your greatest asset, so recruiting and retaining the right person is important.

Once you've hired new staff you need to make sure you understand your legal obligations to your staff:

  • find out what wages and employment conditions apply to your staff
  • register with the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) to deduct tax from their wages
  • set up employment records
  • pay superannuation
  • comply with occupational health and safety laws.

What to do...

  • See our Employing people topic about hiring people, employer's obligations and employee entitlements.
