A case study approach exploring the practical consequences of recent Court decisions clarifying the distinction between an employee and independent contractor. In this session, we’ll consider:

  • what’s changed and what it means for many employees who are not on long term contracts
  • when a worker is an employee under the common law meaning of the term, but is deemed to be an employee
  • the ATO’s compliance approach to classifying workers as employees or independent contractors
  • the employer’s risk misclassifying the worker under the Superannuation Guarantee (administration) Act 1992
