Practice question
A genuine casual employee performs qualifying ancillary work. The employer denies an otherwise applicable statutory benefit solely because the worker is casual. What is the classification point?
- A casual label overrides every benefit statute
- All casual employees are legally unpaid volunteers
- Every statutory benefit is limited to regular employees without exception
- Only project workers have employment rights
- Casual status alone does not put an employee outside every applicable labor benefit
