CGW Webinar - What Employers Need to Know on Workpac decision on casual employees

Workpac decision on casual employees – what employers need to know

In what is being described as employees ‘double dipping’, the Full Federal Court’s recent decision in Workpac v Rossato confirms that an employee who is paid a casual loading on the misunderstanding that they are a casual employee, may also claim permanent entitlements such as paid annual leave and personal leave. You can review a copy of our most recent article with all the details here.

We invite you to join Cooper Grace Ward partners, Belinda Winter and Annie Smeaton, for our upcoming webinar where they will share with you:

• an overview of the case and the current state of the law in relation to casual employees
• how to review and assess your current casual workforce and identify any potential claims
• how to transfer the status of your current employees from casual to full-time or part-time and an overview of casual conversion
• tips for properly characterising an employee’s employment status both at the commencement of their employment and during employment (if the employment arrangements change)
• tips for drafting employment contracts to minimise the cost to employers if a casual employee is found to be entitled to permanent benefits
• what to do if you receive a claim for back entitlements.

The webinar will be recorded so, if you are unable to attend at the advertised time, we will send you the recording for future viewing.

We hope you are able to join us.
