Join us for an informative and FREE webinar on Tuesday, 6 May 2025.
Do you engage independent contractors in your organisation? Over recent years, the legal test has changed in determining when a person is an independent contractor or an employee.
While the flexibility of contractor arrangements is a key asset for many organisations, navigating the complexities of contractor engagement can sometimes lead to unforeseen legal challenges and financial consequences. In addition, there is often uncertainty about when contractors are paid superannuation and/or other entitlements.
To help you avoid legal pitfalls and make informed decisions about the engagement of contractors, we are excited to announce our upcoming webinar, “All about Contractors – contractor vs employee, superannuation, risk mitigation and more!”
Hosted by Jenny Collins, Senior Associate at HR Legal, this informative webinar will provide you with valuable insights into the critical distinction between contractors and employees. Whether you’re a HR professional, business owner, or manager, this webinar is a must-attend to ensure your workforce engagement practices are legally sound and compliant.
Key Topics Covered:
