Casual Employment Contract Template
If you are hiring a casual employee, you must formalise the arrangement and safeguard yourself. This casual employment contract template is suitable for use in Australia when you hire a new casual employee in your small business.

Our Casual Employment Contract Template sets out:
Employer and employee details
Job duties of the employee
The pay rate
The ordinary hours of work
Superannuation contributions and leave entitlements
What is to happen if the casual employee needs to convert to a permanent employee; and
How either the employer or the employee can end the agreement.
About casual employment
Casual employment is not regular or ongoing and is subject to change. A casual employee is usually paid a higher hourly or daily rate because of this irregularity and the fact that they are not entitled to annual leave or carer’s leave. An employer can dismiss a casual employee on very short notice.
If a casual employee has been working for an employer for more than 12 months, they can request a conversion to permanent employment. If you would like to read more about casual employment conditions, have a look at our links at the bottom of this page.
