About the Webinar

Casual staff are often seen as a convenient solution for managing busy periods and enhancing workplace flexibility. However, recent important reforms have highlighted the significant risks. In this ever-shifting landscape, it has never been more important for employers to review their employment contracts and discern the true nature of casual positions within their workforce. This session examines the key issues employers need to be across, including:

  • Navigating the new definition of casual employee
  • Understanding the pathways to change to permanent work
  • When can an employer refuse casual conversion?
  • How do these reforms sit alongside recent seminal cases dealing with casual employment?
  • What should employers be doing now to prepare?
