Casual Conversion Workshop
Date: 20 Sep 2021
For most employers, the date by which you need to assess whether your casual employees must be offered permanent employment under the National Employment Standards is approaching very quickly.
By 27 September 2021,
all employers who employ casual employers that are not small business employers (an employer with fewer than 15 employees) will need to determine whether their existing casual employees are eligible to be offered the option to convert to full-term or part-time (permanent) employment.
As part of this process, employers will be required to:
- assess whether each casual employee has the requisite service with the employer;
- assess whether each eligible casual employee has worked a regular pattern of hours;
- determine whether an offer of permanent employment must be made and, if so, whether it will be a full-time or part-time offer of employment;
- write to any eligible casual employees who will not be offered permanent employment and explain the reason(s) why the employer will not make the offer;
- make an offer to any eligible casual employees and for those who accept the offer, meet with employees to discuss matters and provide a written notice of such matters; and
- consider how this process interacts with any related obligation in a modern award or enterprise agreement or other requirements relating to recruitment and selection.
This paid practical workshop will explore the steps outlined above and answer your other questions and provide the participants with:
- A flowchart setting out the process/procedure
- A checklist
Registrants can also purchase our package of templates to assist with the conversion process, which includes template letters:
- outlining the decision not to offer conversion;
- outlining an offer of casual conversion;
- providing the written notice of the new permanent position.
The session will be run by Maddocks Employment, Safety & People Partner, Lindy Richardson and Associate, Gemma Carroll.
