Regulation Impact Statement – Attorney-General’s Department
On 9 December 2020, the Government introduced the Fair Work Amendment (Supporting Australia's Jobs and Economic Recovery) Bill 2020 to provide greater certainty for casual employees and their employers.
The preferred option in the RIS introduces a statutory definition for a casual employee and provides a universal casual conversion mechanism as a National Employment Standard entitlement.
The Attorney-General’s Department prepared and certified a Regulation Impact Statement (RIS), which the Office of Best Practice Regulation (OBPR) assessed as good practice.
The RIS estimates the average annual regulatory saving of $14million.
