Benefits
Salary
Royal Freemasons offer an excellent salary package including base salary, superannuation and salary packaging.
Salary Packaging
As a not-for-profit organisation, Royal Freemasons are able to offer employees the opportunity to salary package. Salary packaging is a way of structuring your income so that you can pay for a wide range of every day items and expenses whilst paying less tax. The service is approved by the Australia Tax office and managed for Royal Freemasons by Selectus, a leading national employee administration group. Laptops, cars, mortgages or credit card repayments - you can choose what you want to package. The amount deducted from your salary is not assessed as taxable income, which means you end up with more money in your back pocket.
The example below shows how salary packaging can make a big difference to your annual wage, giving you an extra $5,000 to take home each year.
