A person is a casual employee if they accept an offer for a job from an employer knowing that there is no firm advance commitment to ongoing work with an agreed pattern of work.

Casual vs Fixed Term Employment

• Consider whether staff are appropriately engaged as a casual employee or should be fixed term.
• Casual staff are engaged by the hour/session and work on an ad hoc or irregular basis for a given work period.
• Fixed term staff have an advance commitment to ongoing employment (for the fixed period). They can expect to work regular hours each week.
• Note: Sometimes casual employees work a regular pattern of hours. This doesn’t mean they’re permanent, but if the arrangements continue, they might be entitled to conversion to continuing employment (‘casual conversion’) after 12 months.
