Many Australian workers are engaged as “contractors” and paid via ABN, even when their work arrangements more closely resemble those of an employee. This can mean missing out on superannuation, leave entitlements, protection from unfair dismissal, and minimum award rates.
Whether or not you are legally a contractor or an employee depends on more than just your contract or job title. Courts look at the real nature of the relationship such as your hours, control, integration into the business and financial dependence.
Law Tram connects you with lawyers who can assess your work arrangement, explain your rights, and help you pursue underpayments or legal protections if you’ve been misclassified.
Start by completing our secure online questionnaire. This step allows you to provide essential details about your work relationship and pay structure.
Law Tram’s advanced technology generates a confidential legal summary of your matter while keeping your personal and employment details private.
Your confidential legal summary is shared with our network of vetted lawyers who review your case to determine how they can assist.
If a lawyer believes they can help, they will initiate a chat with you through the Law Tram platform. Your contact details remain private unless you choose to share them.
You are under no pressure to retain any lawyer unless you are confident in their ability to assist. Law Tram empowers you to make informed decisions.
