Generally:
Independent contractors work for themselves and are their own boss.
Employees work in someone else’s business. The employer controls how, where and when they do their work, and pays them a wage.
But you need to consider a range of factors when deciding whether someone is an employee or contractor.
To help you decide:
Check the differences between employees and contractors on the Australian Taxation Office website. This will help you to work out your business’s tax and super obligations.
Read the Fair Work Ombudsman’s independent contracting page for the differences for workers. You’ll also find information on minimum pay, working conditions and protections.
If you’re still not sure, consider getting independent legal advice. Contact Create a Business if you are unsure.
