5. Applicants seeking casual employment should register with individual departments.
6. The Employer is required to consult with the UNW before a former casual employee is rehired in a particular division if that former casual employee had worked in that division as a casual employee performing the same duties at any time within the 30 working days immediately preceding the date of rehire.
