Hannah works under a common law contract at a piggery, which allows her employer and her to privately negotiate the terms and conditions of her employment. These terms include her hours of work, wages, leave, and training provided on the job. Common law contracts offer flexibility that suits students' varied needs but provide less protection than other agreements. If Hannah feels her contract terms or workplace rights have been violated, she can seek help from her parents, school, or local police and potentially report the issue to the Fair Work Ombudsman to investigate.

Unlike majority of teenagers that work under a modern award
contract (Croll, 2015), Hannah works under a common law contract because she has agreed with the piggery to negotiate privately the terms and conditions of their contract. The owner and manager of the piggery has negotiated with Hannah that the terms and conditions of the contract are: Hours of work, rest breaks and flexible work arrangements. Allowance for uniform and tools Superannuation Training, provided by Charles while working on the Job Wages, including penalty and overtime rates Length of contract, Renews every New Year. Leave, including sick, family and school exam weeks. Common law contracts have quite a few advantages especially for some one at a young age because Hannahs individual initiative is rewarded and can improvably be rewarded as her skills progresses. Also common law contracts are extremely flexible to suit the varied needs of individuals (great for students), and employees under this contract have the right to sue for compensation if the employment conditions are not met. Disadvantages of this contract is that there is less protection than other agreements, possible exploitation of employees due to unfair bargaining and expense of any court case if either party sues for compensation (Chapman & Malcolm, 2013). If Hannah thinks that the terms and conditions from her common law contract has been breached or her workplace rights (Fair Work Act 2009) have been disregarded Hannah can ask her parents, school or local police for support. If more action is required the issue can be reported to (FWA) through Fair Work Ombudsman and the issue will be investigated and if needed resolved (Australian Government, 2013).
