"...Ready for it?" - Casuals and Contractors

Workplace Law's Managing Director and Principal, Athena Koelmeyer, explores two key areas that have undergone significant change over the past few years and will undergo yet another change under these amendments – that is, the changes to casual employment and the new definition of employment.

The Fair Work Legislation Amendment (Closing Loopholes No.2) Act 2024 (Cth) has now passed in Parliament, introducing yet another tranche of significant changes to the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) with various commencement dates.

Our Managing Director and Principal, Athena Koelmeyer invites you to join her in our next webinar as she explores two key areas that have undergone significant change over the past few years and will undergo yet another change under these amendments – that is, the changes to casual employment and the new definition of employment.

In this webinar, Athena will explore these changes which are due to commence later this year, covering topics such as:

  • the new definition of employment and how this will impact independent contracting arrangements;
  • the new definition of a “casual employee” and what must be taken into account when considering if a person is a casual employee; 
  • the operation of the new casual conversion provisions; and
  • compliance obligations for employers.

This is a must-attend webinar for all business owners and those responsible for human resources and industrial relations functions to ensure that they are ready for these amendments.

The webinar will begin at11:00am (AEDT) on Thursday, 4 April 2024.
