When should you receive it?
Your employer must provide it before you start, or as soon as possible afterwards. It must also be provided again:
- For small business employers: after 12 months of employment.
- For other employers: after 6 months, after 12 months, then after each further 12 months.
The version current when it is due must be provided. Fair Work’s page explains the small-business definition. This article does not decide Orchard Tech’s employee count or your employment type.
If unsure whether you are casual, ask for an explanation of your employment arrangements. PALM participation alone does not mean a worker is casual.
