Sham contracting is when an employer wrongly classifies a worker as an independent contractor instead of an employee to avoid paying entitlements like leave, wages, and superannuation.

It is unlawful for an employer to dismiss an employee because they have exercised a workplace right (such as taking leave or making a complaint) or because they possess a protected attribute (such as disability, age, or sexual orientation) however, dismissal for legitimate performance or conduct reasons remains lawful regardless of personal characteristics.
