Practice question
A genuine construction project engagement has a reasonably determinable completion made known at hiring and lasts eighteen months. The employee argues that passing one year alone necessarily defeats project status. What DO 19 qualification matters?
- An agreed determinable completion can preserve project status notwithstanding the duration
- Every project ends legally after twelve months
- All work beyond one year is casual by definition
- Duration alone conclusively voids every project agreement
- A project must have an exact calendar day in every case
