Casual Employment

Casual employment is a flexible work arrangement where employees work on an as-needed basis without a guaranteed number of hours or long-term commitment. This type of employment is common in industries with fluctuating demand, such as retail, hospitality, and events. Casual employees are typically paid a higher hourly rate to compensate for the lack of job security and benefits like paid leave and health insurance. For employers, casual employment offers the flexibility to adjust workforce size according to demand and reduces costs associated with employee benefits. For employees, it provides the flexibility to choose when to work, accommodating personal schedules, and offers the opportunity to work in various roles and industries, gaining diverse experience.
