How do I get paid?
Timesheets will be paid directly into your bank account so you will need to ensure that you have an Australian bank account. You get paid for every hour you work (you do not get paid for any breaks including lunch). Timesheets must reach the C&M payroll department by Monday at 10am to prevent any unnecessary delays in payment. Any overtime payments are at the discretion of your manager. If you are expecting to work additional hours you must inform C&M in advance to confirm any overtime pay arrangements, otherwise a basic rate will be paid. There are more details regarding how to complete your timesheet in the timesheet manual.
