Are casual employees paid the same as
full-time or part-time employees?
To answer this we need to ask 'What is
the difference between these employment
types?' Casuals are employees that have no
promise of ongoing shifts.
They're also entitled to Casual loading
on top of their award rate of pay. This
loading is generally 25 percent, but it can vary
across Awards. They also have a minimum
engagement hours based on the award. They
still need contracts that clearly
outline their casual status.
if you think your casual employees might
not be set up the right way, call us.
