What is a Casual Employee?
Depending on the definition in the relevant Modern Award that applies, generally a casual employee is an employee that works varying hours each week on an irregular and non-systematic basis.
Generally:
- a regular casual employee is a casual employee that works regular hours on a systematic basis; and
- an irregular casual employee is a casual employee that works irregular hours on an occasional and non-systematic basis.
Given that casual employees are generally paid an additional casual loading for each hour worked, they are not entitled to paid annual leave or personal carer's leave.
