C – COMPLIANCE, CONTRACTS and CASUALS

The common thread tying these three “C words” together is that they often apply to the smallest of businesses – owner plus only one employee AND to the largest, national/multinational businesses.

Once you allow for the variations that exist between Small Businesses (under 15 employees) and the others, compliance with the Fair Work Act is equally important and enforced.

Likewise, a single employee deserves the have their obligations and rights clearly defined and explained – just as much as someone working for a large business. Employment contracts are no less important because of the size of the business.

Finally, there is new legislation, introduced in March 2021, around casual employees. Employers have obligations right from the moment a casual employee commences their employment.

So, a few “C words” for this topic.
