The main types of casual employment

Before using a casual employment contract template, it’s important to understand what casual employment means.

Zero hour contracts

These are the types of contracts where the employee does not set a fixed number of hours for their employees. This means they can work as little or as much as they want. These contracts are used in seasonal industries such as hospitality.

Guaranteed minimum hour contracts

As the name suggests, these contracts have a set minimum of hours the employee should work per week or month. They can do as many hours on top of that as you want them to, but you have to meet the minimum.

Self employed/freelance contracts

The person you’re hiring for the job works as an independent entity and they’re hired as a contractor. You are not hiring them as an employee. This can be a one-off project contract or an ongoing retainer one.

Fixed-term contracts

These contracts are valid for only a specific time frame. For example, if the person you’re hiring is covering for someone’s maternity leave or sabbatical.

What employees get but casual employees don’t

  • The right to a minimum notice period
  • Emergency time off
  • Redundancy pay
  • Protection against unfair dismissal
