Who do I contact for help?
Your contracting support contact is Emily O'Toole, who provides assistance with onboarding, payroll, and general contracting queries. You can reach out anytime for additional support via email: contractor@sde.com.au
Where do I enter my tax bank super details?
Six Degrees Executive used the platform Astute for all things payroll and timesheet related.
You will be sent an automated email from Astute within 2 days prompting user set-up.
You will be able to finalise your payroll information.
What is the nominated superannuation fund?
Our nominated super fund is AustralianSuper.
If you wish to default to Six Degrees Executive’s super fund, please select AustralianSuper when completing your onboarding.
Important Note: After your super fund is created, AustralianSuper will send you your membership number. As we don’t have access to your account, please contact AustralianSuper directly for any queries.
What platforms do I use for timesheets?
Timesheets are submitted through the Astute portal.
- Please use a web browser rather than your phone.
- Ensure you log your break times.
- Your reporting manager will approve your timesheets each week.
How do I record overtime?
Overtime must be pre-approved by your manager and written confirmation is to be sent to your consultant for record purposes.
How do I submit an expense claim?
Expenses are submitted in Astute.
Reach out to Emily via contractor@sde.com.au and request Expense set up.
Please review this document for step-by-step guidance on submitting your expenses.
When do I get paid?
Our pay cycle runs two weeks in arrears. To ensure timely payment both timesheets must be approved by Monday 5pm in the week of payroll.
Please refer to the payroll calendar for the payroll cycle.
How do I access my payslip?
You will receive your payslip every fortnight via email.
To open your payslip, please use your date of birth in the following format: YYYYMMDD
