So if your future employer states the 'salary package' when offering a job, you must deduct 9% to find 'basic salary'. Always ask if the figure quoted is "package" or basic"... its not uncommon to employers to 'forget' that little detail.  |
Most of the jobs I've looked at have super on top of the hourly rate,maybe I'm just in the right type of job?
