FAQ

What if i’m sick and cannot go to work?

Always contact your Harrison Barratt Group consultant as soon as you know by mobile (you can find this in your allocation text message or in your email inbox). If you’re unable to reach them, please contact the office on (02) 9168 6870. This gives us suitable time to find a replacement candidate for the job.

Do I need a note from my doctor if I’m off sick?

Even though not required, it would be recommended should you be sick. Some of our sites will require this upon your re-entry to site - however, not all. Should you have cold or flu like symptoms, a negative COVID-19 Rapid Antigen Test is required before you can recommence your position.

As a labourer, what do I take on site?

Here’s the standard items you’ll be required to take on site. If anything else is required we’ll let you know before starting the job. As always, if you’re not 100% on what to take on site contact us.

White Card - General Construction Industry Card (the white card).
‍Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) - Basic PPE such as steel cap boots, gloves, safety glasses, a high-visibility shirt and a hard hat.
‍Phone - You must take your phone with you on site. This is so we can contact you - and so you can get sign off from your on-site supervisor daily against your timesheet.
‍Attitude - Construction is a tough gig. Make sure you bring your A game and represent both yourself and Harrison Barratt the best you can.

If I work as a temp or casual staff member, would an employer consider me for a permanent role?

Starting to work temporarily or casually is a great way to showcase your skills to both us and your manager on site. If you do a great job and you have the ability to become a permanent employee, then you maybe considered for a permanent role either with the same or different client.
Harrison Barratt Group also puts our staff through tickets after three months of employment with us - this is to help you advance in your career and help us fill other roles internally.

If I am on a work holiday visa or other temporary visa, can I apply for a permanent role?

Probably not. However, we recommend you speak to an authorised migration agent about your specific case and situation.

If I work as a temp and I want to leave, how much notice do I have to give?

Your employment contract outlines a period of notice. Temp staff can have a notice period from 1 hour to 1 month; it depends on your role type. When you work through us, you can speak to your consultant about this.
