Are you hiring Christmas casual staff?
Casuals have different entitlements to permanent employees.
Here is a definition of a casual employee:
A person is a casual employee if, when they start employment:
- the employment relationship has no firm advance commitment to ongoing work, taking into account a number of factors, and
- they’re entitled to a casual loading or specific casual pay rate under an award, registered agreement, or employment contract.
