Practice question
A company proposes to classify all employees with less than one year of service as casual, including its ordinary continuing production staff, while insisting that workers hired for genuinely distinct projects automatically become regular after a year. Which response best states the statutory distinction?
- Both proposed rules are invariably correct
- The casual-service proviso is not a universal rule for every category; first identify the actual statutory classification
- Every job is casual until the employer voluntarily changes its label
- Only years of service matter, never the work or engagement
- Project and casual are interchangeable legal terms
