What happens if a worker we've been supplied is not suitable or we need a replacement?
We aim to provide a high standard of fit and reliability. If for any reason a worker is not meeting your expectations (skills, performance, behaviour), simply contact your EWS account manager or our team and we’ll arrange a replacement or adjustment as quickly as feasible.
We want you to be confident that the workforce we supply supports your project goals and site requirements.
How do you manage timesheets, payroll and site-reporting for supplied labour?
We use streamlined processes to handle timesheet collection, payroll payments, superannuation and other employment entitlements. You’ll receive a clear invoice for the labour-hire services you’ve engaged.
Our goal is to minimise your administrative workload so you can focus on the project rather than payroll admin.
