Business seeks new category of part-time worker

Employers are proposing a new “flexible ongoing employee” for retail and hospitality and other service sectors that would pay part-time workers more to be rostered at their boss’ discretion.in response to what it says are the union movement’s bid to “drastically” increase restrictions on employers’ use of casuals and part-time employees.

The worker would receive all the benefits of permanent employees under the National Employment Standards, such as annual leave and redundancy pay, and be guaranteed a minimum number of hours a week. Their total weekly hours must also be less than 38.Business NSW chief executive Daniel Hunter said it made the proposal because unions were seeking “further and drastic disruption to the regulation of casual and part-time employment that goes well beyond the recent Closing Loopholes reforms”.

However, Australian Council of Trade Unions secretary Sally McManus said the lobby group’s proposal “not only erodes the rights of part-time workers but does nothing to promote job security”. Casual employees are entitled to a 25 per cent loading as compensation for not having permanent entitlements such as annual leave or sick pay.
