Casual Engagements. The Commission may require the appointment of casual employees to address specific short-term needs. Casual employees will not be used for the purpose of undermining the job security of full-time continuing employees or to avoid any obligation in this Agreement. Engagement may be through an external agency or directly with the Commission. Casual employment will be for not less than three (3) consecutive hours in any day worked except where the employee works from home by agreement with the Employer, or in exceptional circumstances. Casual appointments will be engaged on an hourly or daily rate. Where the Commission engages individuals directly, a 25% loading will be paid in lieu of all paid leave (including annual leave, sick and carers leave, paid parental leave, compassionate leave and public holidays not worked) and accident make-up pay. The Commission must not fail to re-engage a casual Employee because the Employee or Employee’s spouse is pregnant or the Employee is or has been immediately absent on parental leave. For as long as a casual employee is covered by the agreement, the casual loading that is payable will not be less than the default casual loading provided by Division 2, Part 7 of the Workplace Relations Act 1996.
