CASUAL
Irregular, occasional, or accidental; happening
without being planned or foreseen.
The term is used to describe an event that is
unanticipated or unusual. A casual sale is one
that is not customary, or done in the usual
course of business—such as a jeweler occasion-
ally selling vacuum cleaners.
Casual employment is irregular, periodic, or
seasonal employment, such as someone selling
ice cream only during the summer. WORKERS’ COMPENSATION laws in many states do not apply to casual employment.
