Hi, not sure if any one can help here.
I know there is a specific term for this in a lot of European countries but I can't find it via google for the life of me.
Essentially, a law is being passed in Australia where casual employees can become full time workers (without the option for employer refusal) if they're regularly scheduled on full time hours.
The term I'm trying to remember describes an employer intentionally skirting the law by under-rostering staff to avoid paying out on certain benefits or compensation. I.e an employer required by law to provide compensation for staff on 38 hours or more – they then proceed to spread around the available labour hours so that none of their staff are reaching that threshold.
I can see this exact situation happening here because our government is absolutely dogshit at factoring in knock-on effects for laws being passed.
Laws were passed earlier this year in Australia limiting the frequency of rental property rate rises to once per year. And naturally, because our politicians are so God damn out of touch, they didn't consider the fact that landlords are greedy assholes who can easily just change their lease agreements to 6 month intervals and swapping out tenants every 6 months, effectively bypassing the new law, as it only applies to active tenancy leases.
God our government here sucks.
Anywho, if anyone knows the exact term I'm looking for, it would be much appreciated.
