Hands up if you've ever heard of a 'permanent casual' employee? I once heard a small business owner mention this, and I was like... um, there's no such thing. Ten points for who can explain why, and bonus points if you can name anything that's changing in August...

Hello, I myself am a freelancer, and I often need to work with a network of freelancers when completing jobs for various clients. Usually I utilise platforms like UpWork, as they offer me the best protection, however, as I'm getting larger, I'm looking to internalise these processes. Does anyone have any experience in doing-so? I assume the best way to start is with a thorough contractor agreement. I had a look online, and there appear to be many free ones available. I assume I'd likely need to hire a lawyer to go over it thought, which I assume would be costly. Thoughts?
