The government recently banned zero-hour contracts. These are working arrangements that don't require employers to disclose the number of hours their employees are supposed to work per week/or month. But do employees welcome this move given their varied needs; hence their preference for these work modes? Also, will the proposed remedial measures solve potential problems or create more challenges?

Determining whether someone is an Employee or a Contractor can be tricky! 🤔 That's where the multi-factorial test comes in. It's a test that the Fair Work Commission or the Courts will use to determine if someone is an Employee or a Contractor. This involves considering factors like: 🧩 How much control does the business have over the worker? 🧩 Who provides tools and equipment? 🧩 Are uniforms required? 🧩 Can the worker delegate work? 🧩 How is the worker paid - hourly, salary, or project-based? 🧩 Is the worker entitled to leave? 🧩 What does the contract say? Navigating these factors can be confusing but you don't need to do it alone. Don't stress! If you're unsure about your worker's status, drop a comment or DM me. Let's clarify this together! 💪 #multifactorialtest #employeeorcontractor #workrights #hrtips #smallbusiness #businessowner #australia

When you're job hunting it's important to understand the differences between what you should be receiving as a minimum and what classes as extra benefits. Hopefully, this image can help you understand the difference when you are next job searching. #employmentrights #employeebenefits
