Casual Worker Agreement — Word & PDF Template

This casual worker agreement sets out the terms for engaging a worker on an ad-hoc, as-and-when basis with no obligation to offer or accept work. It gives employers a flexible framework while making the worker’s rights and pay clear.

Who is this template for?

It is intended for employers and casual workers in England and Wales in sectors such as hospitality, retail, events and seasonal work. Use it where work is offered irregularly rather than under a fixed pattern of hours.

What does the template include?

The agreement is organised into clearly numbered clauses covering the engagement:

• Parties — identifies the employer and the worker.
• Nature of engagement — the casual, no-obligation basis.
• Offer and acceptance of work — how work is offered and taken up.
• Hours and place of work — where and when work is done.
• Remuneration — pay rate and how it is paid.
• Holiday pay — entitlement and accrual.
• Statutory sick pay — absence and SSP.
• Other work — freedom to work elsewhere.
• Conduct and obligations — standards expected.
• Termination — ending the engagement.
• Confidentiality — handling of confidential information.
• Governing law and jurisdiction — England and Wales.
• Signatures — execution by both parties.

Easy to customise

The template works in Microsoft Word, Google Docs and LibreOffice. Fill in the highlighted fields, edit clauses to match your arrangement and remove anything that does not apply.
