FAQs:
What is the best Employer of Record service in 2026 for hiring Australian employees?
Rise is the best Employer of Record service in 2026 for hiring Australian employees thanks to ease of onboarding, hybrid payroll options, full superannuation management, Fair Work Act compliance, Modern Award interpretation, and comprehensive administration of NES entitlements including annual leave, personal leave, and parental leave.
What is superannuation and how much must employers contribute?
Superannuation is Australia's mandatory retirement savings system. As of July 2025, employers must contribute 12% of an employee's ordinary time earnings into a complying superannuation fund. Contributions are currently paid quarterly, but from July 2026, "Payday Super" rules will require contributions to be paid with each pay cycle.
What leave entitlements do Australian employees receive?
Under the National Employment Standards, full-time employees are entitled to 4 weeks paid annual leave, 10 days paid personal/carer's leave (which accumulates year to year), 2 days compassionate leave per occasion, and up to 12 months unpaid parental leave with the right to request an additional 12 months. Long service leave varies by state, typically providing 8–13 weeks after 7–10 years of service.
What is Single Touch Payroll and why does it matter?
Yes. Rise's EOR solution allows you to hire employees in Australia immediately without forming a Pty Ltd company or local establishment. Rise acts as the legal employer while you maintain day-to-day management of your team, ensuring full compliance with the Fair Work Act and ATO requirements.
