Wiring a contactor

Hi everyone I'm sure this is a easy and lame question but I just wanted to be safe and sure.

I'm hooking up this contactor and not sure how the ground works with it.. Heres a picture of what Ive done so far.
I haven't hooked up the 24v timer yet.Name:  IMG_20140918_124546.jpg

All grounds are connected together and pigtailed to the box if it is metal..

Does this look correct? does the contactor need to be grounded itself?

Assuming the mounting enclosure is plastic..... you should take a ground tail to one of the mounting bolts.
