Wednesday 10 April 2024

The High Court has stated that the contract is paramount when determining if a worker is an independent contractor. And what the parties call themselves in the contract, and the title of the contract, are not as important as the contractual terms reflecting a true principal/contractor relationship..
This webinar examines how to properly engage contractors to avoid those workers being reclassified as employees, and to minimise payroll tax and workers' compensation costs. Course notes are provided.

HOW TO (CORRECTLY) ENGAGE INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS 2024
Wednesday 10 April 2024
WEBINAR AGENDA
The New Era: What Now Defines a Contractor?
The multi-factorial test is gone (well almost) as is the "substance and reality" of the relationship. The contract (and its specific clauses) is paramount when determining if a worker is an independent contractor.
However, the contractor must first be carrying on business (as defined) and some control is still required.
