There is a rise in the number of employees employed as casuals. Employers must be aware of their obligations with regard to these forms of employment to ensure they are meeting legislative requirements whilst maintaining decent work options for Australian workers. The Task: Your task is to consider one of the non-standard forms of employment within the Australian context (covered in Lecture 2) and write a reflective journal expressing your understanding of organisations’ obligations to workers, your own personal (or others’) experiences with this non-standard form of work, and your position on the future of this form of work – for example, will it become more standard than non-standard; and what are the future implications for workers and employers. We recommend that you follow this format when you are preparing your reflective journal. 1. Choose only ONE non-standard form of work – either Casual, Labour Hire, Fixed term contractors, and Independent Contractors. If you are unsure, please check with the Unit Coordinator before you proceed with the task. 2. Investigate which organisations and/or industries in Australia regularly employ people using this form of work. For example, casual employment is very common in the hospitality industry, and platform workers are often independent contractors. 3. Research why organisations use this form of work as an option for employment, and what are their obligations (if any) to employees who are employed in this form of work (use Australian context only). In your research, look for legal and social responsibilities of organisations/employers. 4. Based on this information, think about your position, or personal opinion, on this form of employment in Australia. 5. Note the extent you agree/disagree with organisations employing people using this form of work and give examples based on yours (and others’) experiences, news articles, research, legal rulings, etc. You can ask the Unit Coordinator if you are unsure about sources. 6.
