In episode 20 of our Employment Law for the Time Poor Podcast, Professor Andrew Stewart and Senior Associate Emily Haar discuss the High Court's recent decision in WorkPac v Rossato. The ruling sheds important light not just on who can be classed as a casual employee, but on how other disputes about work status should be resolved. That may have implications for two further cases (Jamsek and Personnel Contracting) about to be argued in the Court concerning the distinction between employment and independent contracting, not to mention the classification of workers in the gig economy.

In Episode 12 of our Employment Law for the Time Poor podcast, Professor Andrew Stewart and Emily Haar consider the fallout from the Full Federal Court’s decision in Workpac v Rossato, where a long-term “casual” employee was found to in fact be a permanent full-time employee. In particular, they consider the arguments Workpac ran to say that the casual loading should be used to “offset” any non-payment of leave entitlements owed to a permanent employee, or that the loading was paid by “mistake”. Andrew and Emily comment on a range of recent cases where the distinction between leave and pay was emphasised, and consider what might happen next, as employers and business groups grapple with the outcome. Considering your organisations’ options is particularly pertinent, even where Workpac have launched an appeal in the High Court of Australia, because that process will not resolve the issue in the immediate future.

On Thursday 21 May, 2020, the Federal Court upheld the WorkPac vs Skene 2018, when it decided that a casual mine worker who had regular and predictable shifts was entitled to the same benefits as a permanent member of staff, including accrued annual leave pay. What does this potentially mean for the security industry? In this episode of the ASIAL Security Insider podcast, we speak with Chris Delaney, ASIAL's workplace relations advisor, about the potential impact of this decision on the security industry. What might it means for companies who hire casual staff? What can they do to minimise potential claims of a similar nature to the recent court case and what should they be doing moving forward to reduce potential liability?

Phil Smart started his professional career in 1976 by completing a Carpentry Apprenticeship and then held a General Builders License in both Queensland and New South Wales. After starting off as a builder Phil's foray into the recruitment industry began in 1994 as the financial backer and strategic adviser to a recruitment organisation, which is still in existence today. In late 1996 Phil sold his shareholding in that company, however, he had developed an affinity for the industry and decided to establish WorkPac in February of 1997. Today Phil remains a driving force behind WorkPac’s success but in his wisdom sees the value in allowing others to drive the company’s direction and values which continue to be hallmarks of who WorkPac is as an organisation. In this episode we delve into: Scaling by leveraging other people’s time and not just your own; Cultural fit and recognising when someone isn’t the right fit; Investing heavily in your people: it’s just good business; Taking a step back from the business; and A touch of philosophy and red wine! Phil is generous with his time and his conversation. I’m sure you will enjoy it.
