Educational Service Industry Award 2019

Educational institutions employing casual workers need to be aware of a new clause in their award allowing casuals to request conversion to part-time, full-time, or sessional roles after 12 months of regular work. Employers must provide relevant information to casuals, consider requests fairly, and be prepared to justify any refusals. This change took effect May 9th, 2019, and requires some immediate actions, like informing existing casuals of their rights. Seek help if needed.
