Options on how to get paid
Pharmacy SOS will only pay locums on the Pharmacy SOS Pay Roll. Here is why. Pay roll is the easiest and fastest way to get paid. You get paid on a fortnightly basis with out having to wait for the pharmacy to pay nor have to chase any invoices. You know you will be paid on the fortnight according to the payroll calendar. To do so, please complete link in the confirmation email you received for your shift. If you would like to speak to an accountant to seek professional advice, please contact our preferred accountants, BNS Tax Consultants Pty Ltd. (Direct link to this FAQ).
My pay was wrong, when can you fix it?
Some times we get it wrong! If your pay is for some reason not accurately paid, please let us know immediately and we will have it fixed on our accounting software straight away. With the new STP reporting, it has become more difficult to fix up individual items as each pay roll needs to be submitted to the ATO. This causes inefficiencies and potential errors become harder to pick up, causing delays at the end of the financial year. So we ask that you kindly be patient until the next pay run for the correction to be made. (Direct link to this FAQ.)
Superannuation and Invoices
Superannuation law stipulates that when certain conditions are met, a person, even if sending an invoice for their work, will be considered an employee of the company for superannuation purposes and must therefore have superannuation paid according to the rules and regulations set.
Where is my Payment Summary/Group Certificate?
We no longer send out payment summaries. Here is how to get them.
Two ways for you inserting your signature on the eTimeSheets and forms
Draw or Type You can now choose to draw your signature on your eTimeSheet or change of detail forms, or type it in and have the pad represent your signature digitally. The choice is yours.
Will my pay be processed during the holidays?
YES! We make sure pays are processed either on time, according to the Pay Roll Calendar, or beforehand. Our priority is to ensure our locums get paid on time every time. Remember to fill in your time sheets promptly so we can process your pay.

Should I upload a photo when I apply? What are some do’s and don’t’s?
Yes! Uploading a professional, passport style or similar head shot is a good idea. However, it is only optional and is not distributed to employers…. it is however, used to gauge how you represent yourself. Here are some hints: DO take a professional photo, it does not have to be expensive, a home camera is fine but ensure it represents you as a professional. DO wear appropriate clothing. DO look sharp and focused. DO ensure that your photo represents you. DO Have a plain background. We want you to be the focus. DO NOT take selfies. DO NOT post holiday shots with lovely backgrounds. These are interesting but will not serve the purpose. DO NOT take shots in the shower, bathroom, or in a group of people. (Yes, we get those occasionally!). DO NOT wear casual or party clothing (for example singlets or gowns). A suite, white coat, or formal wear is appropriate. Some of these may be stating the obvious… but the obvious sometimes needs to be stated :).
