About the Webinar
Determining whether an arrangement is one of employment or an independent contractor is not always an easy task, with the implications of miscategorising an employee as a contractor being significant. This session reviews recent case law that may assist you in tackling the dilemma, including:
- What are the key principles that can be taken from recent High Court cases?
- How the High Court case principles were subsequently applied to a tertiary lecturer (JMC Pty Ltd v C of T [2022] FCA 750)
- How to determine if an employee or contractor relationship exists when there is no written contract, or the contract is sketchy at best?
- What if a worker asks to be a contractor?
- What are the implications if an employee is incorrectly classified as a contractor, including:
- the removal of tax deductibility rules for non-compliant payments
- When can the superannuation guarantee apply to independent contractors?
- Case studies
