I'll go back to the question in relation to 'absolutely uniform' in terms of the pattern of work that could lead to an employee being classified as permanent. When is it not 'absolutely uniform'? The other issue that I've been submitted in terms of questions that are consistently being asked is that, if a casual worker works one day a week regularly but works two other random days each week, will they have a regular pattern of work for the purposes of 15A(2)(c)(iv), given that section 15A(3)(c) states that the regular pattern of work does not need to be uniform? Hence my first question about what the government is actually saying, in terms of small businesses, about being absolutely uniform and not absolutely uniform.
