Beyond the Pay Rate: What Sunny Coast Jobs Does to Ensure Fairness, Safety & Support

When people think of recruitment, it’s easy to focus on just one thing: the hourly rate. But at Sunny Coast Jobs, we go far beyond that—ensuring not just fair wages, but also legal compliance, safety, ongoing support, and transparency for both candidates and employers.

Here’s what that really looks like behind the scenes.

Fair Pay: It’s More Than Just an Hourly Number

Every placement we make is underpinned by current Industrial Awards or Enterprise Agreements, depending on the role and industry. We don’t guess—we research, reference, and apply the right classification level, penalties, allowances, and loadings so that every team member is legally entitled to fair pay.

Whether it’s hospitality, construction, admin, or manufacturing—we understand the intricacies of wage structures and ensure the pay reflects not just the role, but also the conditions under which it’s performed.

We Factor In the Full Picture of Employment Costs

Paying someone the correct wage isn’t just about their base rate. Here’s what we build into every engagement:

Superannuation – Paid at the correct rate and always on time
Payroll Tax – Managed by us, saving employers time and paperwork
WorkCover Insurance – Every team member is covered, every shift
Leave Loading, Public Holidays, and Allowances – Accurately calculated

We manage all of this, ensuring no surprises for the host employer and peace of mind for the employee.

Safety Is a Priority, Not a Box-Tick

Before we place anyone on-site, we conduct a Site Hazard Assessment and Job Safety Analysis (JSA). This is not just about compliance—it’s about genuinely understanding:

The physical environment
The potential risks
The expectations of the role
The procedures and culture of the employer

The result? Fewer incidents, better matches, and longer-term success for everyone involved.

Weekly Pay + Transparent Invoicing = Smooth Operations

We know how important it is to keep things running smoothly—for both our team members and our clients. That’s why we provide:

Weekly pay to employees (reliable and predictable)
Weekly invoicing to employers (clear and itemised)
Meticulous record-keeping for time worked, breaks, allowances, super, and tax

This ensures full compliance with Fair Work and state legislation—and zero grey areas.

We Look After Our People (And That Helps You, Too)

We don’t just place someone and forget them.

We check in regularly to see how things are going
We’re available when team members have questions or concerns
We collect feedback from both employee and employer to improve the fit

This results in better engagement, higher morale, and fewer replacements—benefiting both the individual and the host business.

Fixing Pay Issues Is Always a Priority

Mistakes happen—it’s how they’re handled that matters.

Whether a discrepancy comes from a timesheet error or a reporting issue from the host employer, we treat every pay query as urgent. Our team investigates immediately, corrects the issue, and ensures the team member is paid correctly without delay.

Employers and Candidates: We’re With You, Every Step

At Sunny Coast Jobs, we’re not just matching people with work—we’re ensuring everyone is paid fairly, kept safe, supported properly, and part of a transparent, well-run system. That’s the value of working with a recruitment agency that puts people and processes first.
