4. NO GUARANTEE OF HOURS 4.1. No guarantee of ongoing or regular hours

5. INFORMATION STATEMENT AND CONVERSION RIGHTS 5.1. Casual Employment Information Statement (CEIS) & conversion pathway 5.2. The Employee may be entitled to notify the Employer that they believe they no longer meet the definition of a casual employee and wish to convert to full-time or part-time employment ("employee choice pathway"). The Employer must respond in writing within 21 days after consulting the Employee, under section 66AAC of the Fair Work Act 2009.

6. ENDING THE ENGAGEMENT 6.1. Either party may end this casual engagement at any time by not offering or not accepting further shifts, subject to any applicable award terms.
