IT Contracting your way
One of the key advantages of contracting is having a choice. As a Peoplebank IT contractor, you have three different contracting options...
- Contracting as a PAYG Contractor - PAYG is an ideal option if you prefer the simplicity of Peoplebank managing all the time-consuming and costly administration tasks associated with being a Pty Ltd contractor.
- Contracting as a Pty Ltd Company - Pty Ltd contracting is an ideal option if you prefer the flexibility and control of running your own company.
- Contracting through a Management Company - Management companies are ideal for high-earning contractors who can afford the fee structures and want many of the same financial benefits of Pty Ltd contracting
