Businesses may offer work that casual employees may accept or turn it down. In some instances, a casual worker contract will set a minimum number of hours that an employee will be guaranteed each week. If there is no minimum set, this agreement may be considered a \u201czero-hours contract.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A casual contract may be indefinite or limited to a <a href=\"https:\/\/factorialhr.com\/blog\/fixed-term-employment-contract\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">fixed term.<\/a> Importantly, a casual contract does not guarantee ongoing employment or future work. Because of this instability, employers may offer casual employees higher rates than usual.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><a name=\"Benefits\"><\/a>Are casual employees entitled to leave?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Casual employees may be eligible for the same benefits as <a href=\"https:\/\/factorialhr.com\/blog\/types-of-employment-contracts\/#permanent\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">permanent employees<\/a>, including annual leave and holiday pay. In the UK, employers may compensate for casual workers holiday pay not used by paying an extra 8% of a casual worker\u2019s salary each pay cycle. In some parts of the US, part-time or casual employees may accrue paid time off. The <a href=\"https:\/\/factorialhr.com\/blog\/paid-time-off-usa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">regulations governing accrual vary by state<\/a>, so employers should check with local authorities.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><a name=\"Jobs\"><\/a>What kind of jobs require casual contracts?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Casual worker contracts are most common in the hospitality and leisure industries. Many casual employees will work seasonally, for instance in mid-summer or around the winter holidays. Casual employees can help to cover surges in demand or take on projects that are outside a business\u2019s normal purview.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/factorialhr.com\/request-demo\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-145096 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/factorialhr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/20105457\/Blog-banner-general.png\" alt=\"Factorial HR software banner\" width=\"1921\" height=\"908\" srcset=\"https:\/\/factorialhr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/20105457\/Blog-banner-general.png 1921w, https:\/\/factorialhr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/20105457\/Blog-banner-general-300x142.png 300w, https:\/\/factorialhr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/20105457\/Blog-banner-general-1024x484.png 1024w, https:\/\/factorialhr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/20105457\/Blog-banner-general-768x363.png 768w, https:\/\/factorialhr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/20105457\/Blog-banner-general-1536x726.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1921px) 100vw, 1921px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><a name=\"Prosandcons\"><\/a><strong>Pros and Cons of the Casual Contract<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Businesses enjoy the flexibility and economy of a casual employment agreement. With these contracts, businesses can call on the help of casual part-time employees as needed. However, these positions offer limited stability to employees. Let\u2019s consider some of the pros and cons of a casual employment contract.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><em>Pros<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Flexibility:<\/strong> Casual staff contracts provide flexibility for the employer as well as for the employee.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Choice:<\/strong> For employees who value freedom, casual contracts offer choice. Casual employees get to choose what work to accept according to their own schedules. This makes it easier to plan around childcare and other obligations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong><em>Cons<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Instability for employees:<\/strong> While some employees enjoy the nontraditional structure, others may find it difficult to plan their lives and their finances around an irregular work schedule.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Instability for employers:<\/strong> Employers don\u2019t have much control over casual employees. They may find themselves in a pinch if there is no one willing to undertake an urgent project.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong><a name=\"Considerations\"><\/a>Casual Contract Considerations<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>There\u2019s a lot to think about when putting together a casual contract. Here, we\u2019ll address some critical concerns to think through before the fact.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><em>Independent contractor vs. casual employee<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Lots of companies are currently squabbling over the differences between an independent contractor and a casual employee.\u00a0 However, an independent contractor is technically self-employed and will organize their own taxes and benefits. An employee, no matter how casual, will receive these and other services from their employers. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/businesses\/small-businesses-self-employed\/independent-contractor-self-employed-or-employee\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">IRS has put out a handy guide <\/a>asking about the nature of the relationship to help small businesses figure which they should hire.<\/p>\n<p>Once they have workers correctly categorized, businesses can get started drafting a contract. With the help of online resources, such as our free casual employment contract template, this may be the easiest part.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><em>Implied contracts<a name=\"example\"><\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Employers should be wary of any implied contracts they may be creating with casual employees. If a casual employee works regularly, the employment relationship may be &#8220;permanent.&#8221; It won&#8217;t matter what the contract says. Businesses will then be responsible for providing employees the same privileges they offer permanent employees.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">\u2714\ufe0f<strong><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"#example\">Download [Free] Contract Template<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<h2><strong><a name=\"Include\"><\/a>What to include in a casual worker contract<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>When creating a casual contract, employers may wish to address the following terms and conditions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Term:<\/strong> Each contract should specify the term during which it is valid. This may be for a limited period of time such as a few months or a year, or indefinitely.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Duties:<\/strong> Employers should be specific about their expectations for the employee and detail how they plan to evaluate performance.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hours of work:<\/strong> Specify, if relevant, the minimum number of hours each week employees work and the maximum.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Compensation:<\/strong> A casual worker agreement will detail the salary or hourly rate of the employee. Employers must make sure contracts adhere to the minimum wage set out by the Fair Labor Standards Act.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Termination<\/strong>: In the US, contracts default to \u201cat-will\u201d agreements unless otherwise specified. This means either employer or employee can sever the relationship at any point for any reason. Employers may wish to articulate this to avoid any confusion down the line. They can also set up any parameters of notice expected.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Legal language:<\/strong> A casual worker contract has no teeth unless it has some legal jargon. Include clause saying that the contract qualifies as the sum of all previous discussions. Employers may also wish to specify governing law, that is, in which state they expect to settle any disputes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For more information, be sure to check out our casual employment contract template.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/factorialhr.com\/request-demo\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-140760 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/factorialhr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/19173103\/Blog_Horizontal_Demo-request.png\" alt=\"Demo request\" width=\"800\" height=\"234\" srcset=\"https:\/\/factorialhr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/19173103\/Blog_Horizontal_Demo-request.png 800w, https:\/\/factorialhr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/19173103\/Blog_Horizontal_Demo-request-300x88.png 300w, https:\/\/factorialhr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/19173103\/Blog_Horizontal_Demo-request-768x225.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><strong><a name=\"Managing\"><\/a>Managing casual employees<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>So, you\u2019ve used the casual contract template to draw up the perfect contract.
