Government steps in on casual pay decision.

Labour hire firm WorkPac filed an application in the Federal Court seeking confirmation that a former employee was casual, and therefore not entitled to be paid leave entitlements after believing an earlier decision to be incorrect. O’Dwyer said the federal government had decided to intervene to give certainty to millions of small businesses, and that it seemed incongruous that casuals could get 25 per cent loading as well as holiday pay and other such entitlements.
