This checklist can be used to determine whether a casual employee is likely to be
considered a permanent employee

A casual employee is not defined under the Fair Work Act, despite casuals being referenced throughout in relation to not being entitled to various forms of paid leave, notice of termination, redundancy pay, public holidays and, in certain circumstances, access to unfair dismissal laws.

Employers should note that where a court determines an employee engaged as a casual is in reality a permanent employee, the employer may be ordered to pay backdated entitlements (to annual leave, paid personal/carer’s leave, etc).

Simply fill in the following form and access your free Casual Employee Checklist download & start using within your business.
