WEBINARS | You're an independent contractor? Well that's super...


 

ABOUT THE SEMINAR

Independent contractors are again in the spotlight through the decision of the Full Court of the Federal Court of Australia (Court) to dismiss the appeal and cross-appeal in the matter of Dental Corporation Pty Ltd v Moffet [2020] FCAFC 118.  The Court found that Dr Moffet fell within the extended definition of an employee under the Superannuation Guarantee (Administration) Act 1992 (Act) and that Dental Corporation Pty Limited was obliged to make superannuation contributions on his behalf.

This decision again highlights potential risks, particularly with respect to superannuation, which can arise through independent contractor arrangements.

Join Partner Matthew McKee and Senior Associate Dean Schubert as they review the Moffet decision and other recent decisions in a number of contexts. Matthew and Dean will share their views on how the employee-contractor tests apply in modern work relationships.
