The Federal Court judgment has reignited calls for the Australian Government to resolve the casual employment issue and provide greater clarity and certainty to employers and employees on the rights and entitlements of casual workers in Australian workplaces.įrom July 2014 until his retirement in April 2018, Workpac engaged Mr Rossato as a casual employee to provide labour hire services at various coal mines across Queensland. It is also the first decision which tests the application of new Fair Work Regulations 2009 (Cth) in determining whether employers can offset the casual loading paid to an employee against claims for permanent entitlements. The decision backs the earlier contentious Workpac v Skene ruling that an employee’s patterns of work were the key determinative factor to their employment status.
