Guide for use:
CODE 1 Permanent
Permanent employees are those employees who are entitled to either paid sick leave, or paid holiday leave, or both and are not employed on a fixed term contract or casual basis.
CODE 2 Fixed term contract
Fixed-term-contract employees are those employees who have a written agreement to work a minimum number of days over a specified period of time. They do not receive paid sick or annual leave entitlements.
CODE 3 Casual
Casual employees are those employees who do not have a written agreement on the minimum number of days that will be worked. They are usually paid a higher rate of pay, to compensate for lack of permanency and leave entitlements. Casuals may be full-time or part-time, according to the hours they have agreed to work.
The leave entitlements that a worker is eligible for should be used as the basis for choosing which category each worker belongs to.Origin:
