About the Casual Employment Information Statement

The Casual Employment Information Statement (also known as the CEIS) is a document that the Fair Work Commission requires employers to provide casual employees on a regular basis. The Closing Loopholes No.2 Act 2024 amended the Fair Work Act, with the requirement to send the CEIS changing from 26 August 2024. Now, employers are required to send casual staff the Casual Employment Information Statement at the following intervals:

‍

Before commencing employment or as soon as possible after commencing employment
After 6 months of employment
After 12 months of employment
Every subsequent 12 months of employment

The Casual Employment Information Statement should not be confused with the Fair Work Information Statement. The above intervals do not apply to small businesses.
