Classification: employee

(b) The High Court’s contractual-rights-and-obligations approach applies: where a comprehensive written contract is not a sham, classification turns on the rights and obligations it creates, rather than the parties’ label or their subsequent conduct. The leading case is *CFMMEU v Personnel Contracting Pty Ltd* [2022] HCA 1.

(c) The engaging business must comply with employee obligations, such as paying superannuation guarantee contributions.
