"Independent Work Contracts explains the new regulatory environment for workers and outlines the range of laws that govern these kinds of working arrangements. The new legislation continues to rely on common law tests to distinguish genuinely independent work contracts from employment relationships. These tests and the new "sham" contractor provisions in the Workplace Relations Act are explained in Part I. The new Act, including its new part on unfair contracts review, is explained and annotated in Part II. Most importantly, Part III explains how other commercial law rules and principles (including contract law, Trade Practices and tax rules) apply to these kinds of contracts."--Publisher.
