Sorry, I meant after this change. As I understand it, you can just write in the contract they are a contractor and now they are and they can't challenge it. No sick leave, no annual leave, you want a job? Take it or leave it.

Oh! Right.

Yeah that's exactly what would happen.

Right now the law can "look through" a contractor's contact and say " hang on this is actually an employee contact".

After this legislation... nope, whatever shitty contact the "employer" has foisted takes primacy
