Casual Employment Information Statement

The Casual Employment Information Statement is a mandatory document that employers must give to casual employees when they start. It contains essential information about casual employment, including what makes someone a casual employee, their right to change to permanent employment and how disputes are resolved. This ensures transparency and understanding of casual work arrangements.

When to give the Casual Employment Information Statement

You must give it to every casual employee before, or as soon as practicable after, they start. Employers that are not small business employers must also give it after 6 months, after 12 months and every 12 months after that. Small business employers (fewer than 15 employees) give it at the start and after 12 months. New casuals must also receive the Fair Work Information Statement. For example, if you have 15 or more employees, a casual who starts on 1 March should receive the statement again in early September.
