New definition of employment
The Fair Work Act 2009 introduced a new definition of employment. It is based on a ‘whole of relationship’ test to decide whether someone is a contractor or an employee.
Monday, 07th July 2025
How employment is defined by Australian law has changed. The relationship between an employer and their contractors and employees is now measured in more holistic and expansive way.
In this handy resource, you’ll learn how the new ‘whole of relationship test’ works, the exemptions for high-income contractors, best practice and how issues can be defended.
Stay compliant and ensure your employees and contractors are treated correctly under the law.
