RAs - common law employees or not?
Acccording to the UCA's survey on Professional Development for Resident Assistants (RAs), 41% of respondents did not regard their RAs as employees. Given this response and the fact that it has been 16 years since advice from Clayton Utz was provided, the UCA Executive Committee commissioned Peter McDonald to look again at this issue and a copy of this document can be obtained by emailing Deborah Pugh, Executive Officer. Please note, this is general advice and additional more specific advice can be sought if required.
