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.
