They have an ABN. They send invoices. They signed a contractor agreement. They must be a contractor... right?

If a contractor works under your direction, follows set hours, uses your tools or systems, cannot delegate the work, or is integrated into your business, the arrangement may start to look more like employment in practice.

The risk is that what appears to be a contractor relationship on paper could expose your business to employment claims, unpaid entitlements, and sham contracting allegations.

In just 60 minutes:

• Contractor vs Employee: Understand the key differences between genuine independent contractors and employees
• The Risk Behind the Label: Why an ABN, invoice or contractor agreement may not be enough if the working relationship tells a different story
• Common Sham Contracting Traps: Learn where businesses get caught out, including control, set hours, tools, delegation, financial risk and ongoing work expectations
• Protecting Your Business: Practical steps to review contractor arrangements, strengthen agreements and reduce risk

Many businesses rely on casual employees to help manage busy periods, cover staff absences, or provide extra flexibility.

But what happens when a casual employee works the same shifts every week, follows a regular roster, or develops an expectation of ongoing work?

When that happens, employers can unknowingly create compliance risks relating to leave entitlements, casual conversion obligations, back-pay liabilities and unfair dismissal claims.

Join our workplace relations experts as they unpack the warning signs that a casual employment arrangement may have changed, the risks employers should be aware of, and the practical steps businesses can take to stay compliant.

In just 60 minutes:

• Casual on Paper, Permanent in Practice: Correctly identify the patterns and work arrangements that can blur the line between casual and permanent employment
• When Things Change: Recognise red flags like long-term regular hours, predictable schedules and casuals filling permanent business needs
• The Risks of Getting It Wrong: Understand casual conversion obligations, leave entitlements, backpay claims and other compliance risks
• Keeping it Casual: Learn how you can maintain workforce flexibility, reduce risk, and ensure your casual employment practices stand up to scrutiny
