Key Analysis Areas
Wage Allocation
- Allocate wages to state where work is performed
- If worker performs work in multiple states, use principal place of employment
- For remote workers, use employer's state if no clear work state
Contractor Deeming
- Relevant contract provisions (labour-only, equipment provision)
- Per-state deeming rules differ — analyse per jurisdiction
- ABN verification via
abn_entity_lookupskill
Grouping Provisions
- Related bodies corporate automatically grouped
- Common control or common interests test
- Shared threshold across group (de-grouping applications possible)
