Bring Outworkers In

Outworkers are the most vulnerable workers in Victoria. Their hours are long and they are regularly the victims of unscrupulous employers. Mr Hanks says the Act merely needs to be clarified to properly cover outworkers. But this does not go far enough. Even if it is clarified, the law won't address the sham working arrangements forced on outworkers by their employers.

The VTHC says existing provisions need not only to be clarified but also changed to ensure coverage for outworkers. Protection should not be limited to natural persons and sole employee companies but should also extend to all sham arrangements.
