This advice about casual employment matters is for employers that meet the definition of a ‘small business employer’ under the Fair Work Act 2009 (FW Act). Under section 23 of the FW Act, an employer is a ‘small business employer’ at a particular time if the employer employs fewer than 15 employees at that time.

Casual employment advice for employers who are not ‘small business employers’ was provided in Employer Advice NAT 043/21 and NAT 055/21.
