Quote Glen:- “CASAs argument was that you cannot have operational control over someone who is not also an employee.”
so how come they have been turning a blind eye to the disgraceful practice of sham contracting all these years?
I'm told my previous employer wanted to go to all being on an individual contract, CASA apparently told them engineers signing out work had to be on their books as employees and not contractors, likewise pilots in position as division manager, CP or C&T. When that became a feature in the last 20 years I don't know, contractors were unknown in my time. Contractor labour is far easier to get rid of if some one gets a bee in their bonnet, also more likely to do what they're told, particularly operating at variance with regs.
