Some modern awards and award-based transitional instruments contain special conditions for outworkers. These are called outworker terms.
Outworker conditions cover the following and more:
- chain-of-contracts (e.g. where a sub-contractor employs an outworker)
- registering employers who employ outworkers
- employment records
- access to employment records
- work hours, public holidays, leave, pay and other conditions of employment.
