Labour Hire Services in Melbourne

Contractors, casual employees or a mix of both, supplied to civil, warehouse and manufacturing sites across Melbourne. One agreement, one weekly invoice.

Engagement

How we supply workers

Casual employment is our standard for every labourer, warehouse and production worker. The only workers we engage on an ABN are plant operators who bring their own machine.

Owner operator

Plant operators who bring their own machine

  • Supplies their own machine and operates it
  • Holds their own ABN and public liability insurance
  • Invoices Bluestone for their hours, we invoice you
  • Only for operators with their own plant, never for labourers

Casual employee

On the Bluestone payroll under the relevant award

  • Bluestone is the employer of record
  • Wages, PAYG, superannuation and WorkCover handled by us
  • Paid at or above the award with casual loading
  • Covers every labourer, controller, warehouse and production worker

Every crew comes through as one weekly invoice with the timesheet attached, whether it is all casual employees or includes an owner operator with their own machine.
