| Conduct / H&S / Smoking | All embedded in contract | Non-contractual policies + Equal Opps & Whistleblowing contractual Easier Co updates, weaker staff force | mixed |
| Training repayment | Not mentioned | Written agreement required BEFORE training | improvement |
Side-by-side · Driver
Sample: Roy GrantContract_20230407
Roy Grant 2023 contract → Template-A + Addendum 1. Roy & Julian & Sean are on annualised-hours arrangements.
| Topic | Current | Proposed | Direction |

| Topic | Current | Proposed | Direction |
|---|---|---|---|

Side-by-side · Casual-Packer
Sample: CaledoniaJeffrey + Ronin Walker Casual Contract v1
Regular packers (Blue, Henry, Marc, Miles, Alick, Caledonia, Ronin) → Template-A with 3-hr minimum shift (§4.10). Template-B (zero-hours) reserved for genuinely seasonal or one-off workers only.
| Topic | Current | Proposed | Direction |
|---|---|---|---|
| Contract type | "CASUAL WORKER Contract" — functionally a part-time employment contract despite the label | Template-A (Permanent Employment Contract) — correct legal classification for regular rota workers Template-B (zero-hours) only for genuinely seasonal workers with no fixed rota | improvement |

| Shift-cancellation | Not addressed — workers can decline at short notice | 48h notice required for rostered shifts given 2+ weeks in advance (§4.11) | new |
| Probation | 1 month | 3 months (Template-A standard) | same |
| Holiday pay | 12.07% accrued; taken as leave | Standard accrual under Template-A | same |
| Sunday / BH premium | Not mentioned | 1.5× (§4.6) | new |
| Overtime / TOIL | Not mentioned | Cash or TOIL at employee election (§4.4) | new |
| Notice | 2 weeks | 1 month (Template-A standard) | improvement |
