Casual work before starting full-time work at same company?
I have recently accepted a FT job offer that's due to start in a couple months, and have left my previous employer since then. The new company that I'm due to start with called me up and asked me if I was willing to work casually with them for the next few days, which is before the official FT contract start date. Since I could use the extra income I agreed to it and asked them what sort of arrangement it would be under. Apparently I would be starting as a casual employee for the duration of this work, and on my official FT contract start date I would be converted to a full-time permanent employee.
A couple questions for RFDers who may have gone through similar cases:
1) Does signing another employment contract with the company (in this case a casual hourly contract) void the previous contract that I've signed with them (FT permanent contract)?
2) Any specific terms in the casual contract that I should be looking for? I have not signed this contract with them yet, only the FT job offer that I was given a while back.
The company is a fairly reputable firm in a professionally regulated industry, so I don't believe there would be any sketchy business going on here. Still, better safe than sorry.
