What you need to know about hiring tech contractors

How tech contractors can help your business

Contract workers can help keep your costs down by only requiring payment for the hours worked. This means no holiday pay, bonuses, or rewards that you would be required to pay full-time employees. Temporary staff can also be the ideal solution for when you are not sure if you want to create a new position in the company, or if you want to trial a worker.

Additionally, temporary contracts give you the freedom of hiring for the short term to see if the staff member will truly be a good fit for the company, without having to worry about how to deal with the situation if they aren’t quite right.

Fast impact. Contract workers are often available to start at short notice. At Michael Page, we pride ourselves on a fast turnaround, sometimes as little as a day. In addition, we help you find highly skilled professionals who can hit the ground running. Short-term workers provide an immediate solution: one that can have an immediate impact.

Shorter notice periods. If your organisation experiences a sudden change or a project finishes sooner than expected you do not have to maintain your contract, temporary and interim workers. Short notice periods mean your workforce can be adjusted to your business’ needs.

Financial savings. You only pay for what you get. Hiring professionals on a contract basis can protect your bottom line as you only pay for the hours worked, without holiday pay, performance rewards,company bonuses or other employee entitlements. In addition, our payment plans allow you to pay as you go, rather than in one lump sum.

Trial new staff members or positions. Hiring potential permanent workers on a contract basis allows you to assess how that individual might fit within your company environment. If you’re considering expanding your business you can trial a new full-time role without making a long-term commitment.

Talk to us about the many ways in which a temporary worker can benefit you and your company.

Contract workers provide extra help for your business with minimal overheads and risk. You might need:

  • An extra pair of hands during busy periods
  • Specialist help to manage a key project
  • To cover permanent staffers’ holidays or parental leave
  • Somebody to maintain day-to-day tasks while you recruit for a permanent role

Get the right help at the right time.

Contractors add value to your business without incurring substantial risks and addressing headcount costs and issues. They can be hired to cover permanent staffers’ holidays, project based, parental leave, as well as an extra pair of hands during busy periods. Furthermore, they help to maintain day-to-day tasks while you recruit for a permanent role.

The hourly compensation for hiring an independent contractor might seem higher when compared to a permanent role, but there are other factors to take into consideration, such as flexibility and employee benefits. Since contracting provides greater flexibility in this regard, it can thus be a more cost-effective strategy in the long run.

We offer a dedicated payroll service so that your contractors will be paid on time and accurately, while reducing the administrative burden on your business.

We use an online portal to manage independent contractors, the working arrangement, hours and payments to provide full transparency.

Whether you’re a contractor or an employer, imagine how much time and energy you’ll save getting all your timesheets, expenses and invoicing done in one place. Our ‘Page Timesheet Portal’ means you can get your contracts and compliance documents reviewed, accepted and approved in minutes, not days.

This new and improved Timesheet and Payroll system offers one-click approvals, automated electronic pay slips and direct access to Work Health & Safety info. It’s all in the one easy, secure location.

With our centralised process you’ll have all the reliable information you need at your fingertips. Now you can make better decisions quickly and with more confidence.

What are the benefits of the Page Timesheet Portal?

As an approver of a contractor, the ‘Page Timesheet Portal’ will offer you a range of benefits such as:
