Contractor - Frequently Asked Questions
When and
how will I get paid?
Contractors are required to contact the office by telephone every Tuesday to provide the hours that they have worked in the previous week. Payments are deposited into their bank account s every Friday.
Where will I be required to work?
TSA contractors work around Melbourne and its environs. Occasionally we provide construction personnel to country projects. When TSA contractors are assigned to our client’s projects their experience and suitability for the job is obviously most important, however, we do take into consideration the contractors proximity to the job.
How much work will I get?
TSA is a service company that meets the demands of the building industry; therefore we cannot guarantee ongoing work. Some clients are only interested in using our services for day labour or casual labour other clients use labour hire as an integral part of their labour management. However it is in our best interests to get as many contractors as possible out working, particularly contractors who are good ambassadors for TSA. Some of our contractors are registered builders or operate their own businesses and use the services of TSA during their quiet times. We are able to offer both short and long term placements. We also have a placement service which can provide contractors with career positions within our client network.
Do I need to provide tools and personal protection equipment (PPE)?
YES. All contractors are required to provide PPE. Carpenters should also provide all power and hand tools. Labourers should also provide basic tools such as a shovel, hammer, pinch bar, set of screw drivers and shifters.
What am I covered for?
All contractors are covered for:
Public Liability
WorkCover
Superannuation
TSA cannot contribute to CoInvest or Incolink however the majority of our contractors are registered with them as ‘working sub-contractors’.
What tickets do I need?
Every person working on a building site in Victoria must have Red Card Accreditation. If you are not accredited, we will arrange for you to attend the appropriate course conducted by the Master Builders Association of Victoria. Our contractors make a personal choice as to becoming financial members of the CFMEU.
