A Casual Worker is a worker engaged only occasionally, for a short period, to meet a temporary or seasonal rise in work — not part of the permanent (regular) workforce. Because casual workers can be a route for fraud (fictitious 'ghost' names being paid), their appointment and wage payment must be tightly controlled and properly authorised. The defining feature is the nature/continuity of employment (temporary, occasional).

An Out Worker is a worker who does the organisation's work away from its factory premises. Two kinds arise: (i) workers who take materials home and return finished work — requiring strict control over materials issued and finished work received back to prevent loss/pilferage; and (ii) workers sent out to a site or a customer's premises (e.g. installation/repair jobs) — requiring proper recording of time spent and expenses to charge them to the correct job. The defining feature here is the place of work (off-premises).
