Starting August 26, 2024, new workplace laws concerning the definition of employment and changes to casual employment will come into effect as part of the Fair Work Legislation Amendment (Closing Loopholes No.2) Act 2024 (Cth).

APSCo Australia is inviting you to attend an interactive webinar with Gadens Employment and IR Partners; George Haros and William Marshall, on Wednesday, September 4, to explore these changes and their anticipated impact on businesses.

During this webinar, we will cover:

• The New Definition of Employment: We will delve into the revised definition of ‘employee’ and ‘employer,’ which introduces a varied test to determine whether workers are independent contractors or employees. This includes the new ‘contractor high income threshold.’

• Impact on Independent Contractors: Understand the implications of the new definition and threshold on businesses that engage independent contractors, including how the ‘opt out’ mechanism will operate.

• Changes to Casual Employment: Explore the updated definition of casual employment, which will assess the "real substance," "practical reality," and "true nature" of the employment relationship. We will also cover the new requirements for casual conversion.

Attendees will gain clarity on:

• The revised definition of employment and factors indicating an employment relationship.
• The new ‘contractor high income threshold’ and its implications.
• The updated definition of casual employment and casual conversion requirements.
