Stop making excuses for casual conversion Earlier this year, changes to the Fair Work Act were made, which for the first time provided a (nonetheless still vague) definition of a casual employee and a more clearly set out pathway towards conversion to permanent employment. The initiative to make these changes was presumably, at least in part, a result of concerns about the high percentage of casual workers across many sectors, in combination with growing concerns about COVID-19.
