Common use of Casual Availability Clause in Contracts

Casual Availability. Letter of Appointment/Minimum Hour Requirement All casual employees shall receive a letter of appointment immediately upon recruitment clearly confirming their employment status and their classification. This letter shall also confirm the casual employee's days and times of availability for work of a casual nature. The letter shall specify that in order for the casual employee to maintain employment, the casual employee shall work a minimum of 225 hours over any calendar year, prorated for partial years of employment. By April 30, 2016 casual availability shall be confirmed for current employees and include the minimum hour requirement. Except where a casual employee can demonstrate bona fide reason(s), the casual employee shall be removed from the casual list and her employment will end, if she fails to work 225 hours in a calendar year. A casual employee shall be exempted from this requirement where the Employer has not offered the casual employee 225 hours over the 12 month period. Mid-way through the calendar year, a casual employee who has worked fewer than 225 hours will be notified of the number of casual hours worked.
