    • The term ‘casual employee’ is not defined in the Fair Work Act, nor is it generally defined by the applicable modern award or enterprise agreement, other than being defined as an employee engaged and paid as such. Normally, a casual employee is paid only for the time actually worked (in many industrial instruments this is subject to a minimum payment per engagement) and does not receive payment for public holidays (except under certain circumstances), personal/carer’s leave, or annual leave. An important aspect of this type of employment is that the employee’s services may be terminated without notice. …

      … In the absence of a statutory definition regarding casual employment, the courts have generally interpreted the term ‘casual’ to mean an employee who works only on demand by the employer.
