Employment types
Staff can be employed under a number of categories. Some categories offer more flexibility for workers, while others provide more security for the business. Choosing to employ staff under different categories can maintain flexibility in your workforce while also meeting the needs of the business. Choose a structure for each staff member that suits the business and the employee.
Each category places a different set of obligations for you and your staff. Below are the most common employee types:
- full-time
- part-time
- casual
- probationary
- fixed term.
To properly determine your obligations as an employer, it's important for you to distinguish if your workers are employees or independent contractors. This will help in determining wages and other employment conditions.
What to do...
- Use our Online contractor decision tool to see whether the courts are likely to consider you to be an independent contractor or employee.
