The fact that a claimant is engaged in casual employment does not necessarily mean that he or she had no employment with the employer when the stoppage of work occurred. There may be cases where casually employed workers should be treated as not employed at the time of a work stoppage at the premises of an employer who gives them casual work from time to time. In making this determination however, one must consider the patter, extent and regularity of the casual employment, its continuing nature, and the immediate prospect of continuing work at the date of the stoppage.
