Are you confused about the differences between working as an employee and as an independent contractor? The Fair Work Ombudsman (FWO) can help you understand whether you have been misclassified as an independent contractor and work out what to do if you believe you've been misclassified as an independent contractor.

The FWO is Australia’s workplace regulator. It helps employees and employers understand their rights and responsibilities under Australian workplace laws and works with them to resolve workplace issues.

The FWO’s services are FREE and available to everybody working or employing in Australia.

This webinar will cover:

• The difference between contractors and employees

• An example about a cleaning employee being misclassified as a contractor

• What does 'sham contracting' mean?

• What to do if you think you've been incorrectly engaged as an independent contractor, or you might be in a sham contracting arrangement, and

• A guest presentation from the Australian Taxation Office

Please note this webinar will not be recorded.
