Recruit & Onboard – Contracts, Casuals and Compliance

Contracts, classifications and onboarding are critical for getting the employment relationship right. Missteps can lead to underpayment, disputes, or legal claims — especially under recent Fair Work reforms.

This session walks you through key compliance requirements when bringing someone on board, with a focus on casual conversion, contract terms, and onboarding best practice.

You’ll learn:

• The difference between full-time, part-time and casual roles (and how the law defines them)

• What must be included in an employment contract

• How recent changes affect casual engagement and conversion

• What documents must be provided at the start of employment

Includes:
✔️ Real examples of onboarding gone wrong
✔️ Fair Work Information Statement templates
✔️ Starter contract resources
