Changed location of employment In capital cities and major towns each suburb is considered to be a different location. Where an employee works at different sites for the same employer (e.g. a construction worker) their base of operations (e.g. the employer’s office, depot, yard, etc.) is considered to be their place of work. Movements within the same building or between buildings in the same complex (e.g. school, hospital) are not considered to be changes of location. Current employer The employer or business that the employee worked for in their main job in the reference week. Current position The position in which the employee worked in their main job in the reference week. A position is defined as work for an employer with a particular set of duties and level of responsibility. Employee A person who works for a public or private employer and receives remuneration in wages, salary, commission, tips, or piece-rates, or in their own business, either with or without employees, if that business was incorporated.
