Conversion of casual to permanent employment

There were changes to the Fair Work Act earlier this year in relation to casual workers.

One of the changes was in respect of a right of conversion from casual to permanent employment in selected circumstances.

Under these changes, if your business:

has 15 or more staff; and,
employed casual workers as at 27 March 2021; and,
some or all of them are still employed today,

before 27 September 2021, you must advise in writing, all such casual staff that were employed on 27 March and still employed now, either:

you are offering to convert the employee from casual to permanent and on what grounds; or
that the casual employee is not eligible for conversion because they have not been employed for at least 12 months; or
that the casual employee is not eligible for conversion because that during the last six months the casual employee has not worked a regular and systematic pattern of hours; or,
that there are reasonable business grounds not to make an offer of conversion.

If you don’t do this, you may be in breach of the Fair Work Act.
