## Key facts

| Fact | Value |

| Practice area | [Employment & Workplace Relations (incl. WHS)](https://ailawframework.com/practice/employment-and-workplace-relations.md) |
| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | From the start date and the sending record, note whether the Fair Work Information Statement was given before the start or, if later, on what date, and by which of the published methods. If the lawyer has marked the employee as a new casual, note whether the casual statement was given at the same time. If the lawyer has marked a new fixed-term contract, note whether the fixed-term statement was given. Do not describe the contents of the casual or fixed-term statements. |
| What the lawyer must review | The lawyer decides whether the employee is a new casual or is entering a new fixed-term contract, and whether giving the statement later was as soon as possible. |

## Checking plan

**Source-by-source verification**

Record which statement was given and when, and leave status and timing to the lawyer.

- What the AI does: From the start date and the sending record, note whether the Fair Work Information Statement was given before the start or, if later, on what date, and by which of the published methods. If the lawyer has marked the employee as a new casual, note whether the casual statement was given at the same time. If the lawyer has marked a new fixed-term contract, note whether the fixed-term statement was given. Do not describe the contents of the casual or fixed-term statements.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer decides whether the employee is a new casual or is entering a new fixed-term contract, and whether giving the statement later was as soon as possible.
- Who reviews: Responsible lawyer with competence in the matter
- Basis: Practical workflow informed by the linked primary sources; the traffic light and working checks are editorial guidance, not a scheme classification.
- Why: The level reflects what the work is, the consequence of an error, and how much of the output the lawyer must independently re-derive.

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. Check the date and the method against the sending record named in the row.
2. Confirm a casual or fixed-term statement is required only where the lawyer marked that status.
3. Confirm the contents of the casual and fixed-term statements are not described.

## Notes

- These are suggested working checks. Confirm the required checking with the responsible lawyer before work starts; the checking approach does not establish permission to use AI.
- The casual statement page and the fixed-term statement page were not opened. The Act and the regulations named as the source line were not opened. This is not the fixed-term contract register.
