How Do I Join The Team?

Naturally being a contractor is a two way street and there are some things that the contractor must abide by in order to retain a satisfactory relationship.

The contractor signs a contract with Prochef Solutions which is a simple statement that requires a co-operative and empathetic understanding of basic business relationships.

All contractors must present themselves for work according to established standards of professionalism: clean and tidy in appearance and wearing industry standard uniforms. All normal protocols must be observed. Rostered times must be adhered to and time sheets must be carefully and accurately recorded. As a contractor you have a significant voice in your availability and in the hours that you work.

Contractors are not an employee and there is no intention to create an employee - employer relationship. Contractors are independent and self-governed. Contractors are not controlled by others nor are they told how to do their work although they may wisely choose to follow location guidelines. Contractors are responsible for the quality of their work and may be required to rectify any shortcomings. In general terms a contractor is required to satisfy the needs of the overall job as a whole rather than satisfy an hour by hour requirement. Contractors are paid according to their ability to do the job as a whole. Contractors must consider themselves as a business and as such must be prepared to face the vagaries of the business world. A contractor therefore must stand behind the work completed and must be prepared to accept loss as well as gain.

As a contractor it is important to have your financial affairs in order. If you need to arrange an Australian Business Number and registration then there are many who can assist and guide you in this process. Many contractors will arrange personal liability insurance for themselves to protect against any problems in personal liability. Contractors may be responsible for their own superannuation. Depending on the circumstances contractors may have to be involved in workcover.

Contract staff are often viewed with great relief for venues that might be otherwise experiencing difficulties with staff for one reason or another. It is critical that contractors are sensitive to the frustrations that many employers are experiencing. As a contractor you are often a helper in more ways than just the obvious!

Contractors enjoy a unique life style. Contractors can choose when they are available to work and where. If you need a break then you can choose when it is. As a contractor you are able to avoid the problems of long term commitment to specific venues and your lifestyle remains mobile by nature. Your commitment as a contractor is to yourself and to the development of your contracting business. For this reason your personal professionalism will be important.
