Word origin
The term 'casual employee' originated in the late 19th century to describe workers who were not part of the regular workforce and were hired as needed. These employees were often seen as expendable and did not enjoy the same rights and benefits as permanent staff. Over time, the concept of casual employment has evolved, with more regulations and protections put in place for these workers.
