The term casual workers can include both casual "workers" employed on a contract for services and casual "employees", directly employed on a zero hours contract. Casual staff are often used when workloads are variable, allowing them to be engaged on ‘an as and when required' basis where they are paid only for the hours they work.
As a general rule, casual staff are not guaranteed work and are not obliged to accept work when offered. If you wish to take on casual staff then we would advise that you make clear:
1 - the basis on which they are engaged
2 - the anticipated duration of the engagement
3 - what rights, if any, they will assume if engagement continues
