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.

If you use contractors in your business, join our FREE live session to assess your employment arrangements and spot the risks hiding in plain sight.

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

You’ll also have the opportunity to ask your questions during the live Q&A and receive practical guidance from our experts.
