Over the past 10 years we have supported over 400 small to medium businesses across various industries, delivering support on all employment related matters, but more importantly with a focus on achieving good business outcomes.
A recent decision in the Federal Court on the matter of WorkPac Pty Ltd v Rossato [2020] concerning the potential for employers to be required to pay entitlements such as sick leave and annual leave to long term casual employees has lead to much concern in the buiness community. We have experienced many calls from concerned clients wondering about the implications for their business particularly regarding the potential for them to be required to backpay these entitlements within the statute of limitations (6 years)
These concerns have been fuelled by many in the media with sensationalist headlines saying that this particular case marks a “big win” for casual employees and even further by the Federal Minister for Industrial Relations Hon. Christian Porter making commentary around the potential for legislative reform in response to the decision handed down by the court.
No doubt many businesses and advisors are concerned as how to best protect their businesses and clients and On Demand HR have reviewed the key findings of the case and will provide some clarity and certainty about if this decision will have an impact on your business as well as some of the steps that you can take today to protect your business.
We are looking forward to seeing all associates, referrers and business representatives on Friday the 29th May at 10am to address this topic as well as any other questions that you might have around casual employees.
