Teams we’ve worked with
“They’re contractors. It’s fine.”
Until one of them says otherwise.
Full-time is full-time.
Fixed hours, one client, your tools. PH law looks at the work, not the invoice.
It’s been tested.
A Queensland firm paid a legal assistant in the Philippines as a contractor. Australia’s Fair Work Commission ruled she was an employee. The appeal failed. [2024] FWC 2669
The fix takes 72 hours.
Nobody resigns. Nobody re-applies. They just get a real contract.
Paperwork isn’t why good people leave.
Nobody explaining their 13th month is.
