EXAMPLE OF POTENTIAL SAVINGS IN UTILISING PART-TIME EMPLOYEES INSTEAD OF CASUAL<br />
Food & Beverage grade 3 working 30 hours a week from Monday to Friday, between 7:00am and 7:00pm<br />
over a 12 month period<br />
CASUAL EMPLOYEE<br />
30 x $25.26 (per hour) x 52 weeks<br />
=$39,405.60<br />
PART-TIME EMPLOYEE<br />
ANNUAL COST<br />
30 hours x $20.21 per hour<br />
x 46 weeks PLUS<br />
• Annual leave (4 weeks)<br />
• Annual leave loading (17.5%)<br />
• Personal/Carer’s leave (2 weeks/30 hours)<br />
• Cost of replacement casual to cover annual leave<br />
• Cost of replacement casual to cover<br />
Personal/Carer’s leave<br />
= $27,889.80<br />
= $2,425.20<br />
= $424.41<br />
= $1,212.60<br />
= $3,031.20<br />
= $1,515.60<br />
TOTAL ANNUAL COST = $39,405.60 TOTAL = $36,498.81<br />
In this example an employer would save $2,906.79 over 12 months if employing a part-time employee instead<br />
of a casual employee.<br />
