Apprentices

Apprentices receive a credit to their Incolink account for each day worked on a commercial construction site.

Apprentices will be included on your monthly invoice – so you need to nominate the number of days they have worked on a commercial construction site during the relevant invoice period. This includes days on paid leave, days on worker’s compensation, days spent attending school, rostered days off and public holidays.

If an apprentice has completed their apprenticeship, please enter completion date on Employerlink.

Payments

Incolink Employer Members will receive an invoice each month via email notification. The invoice is based on:

  1. the number of workers listed and
  2. the number of weeks in that month.

You can edit your workforce and the number of weeks they have worked using EmployerLink online and changes will be applied to the monthly invoice. Once you have edited and finalised the invoice you can pay your account on time and avoid late fees.
