The new Fair Work Act 2009 commenced on 1 July 2009.

 

Employers need to quickly understand the impact of the changes to industrial relations – workplace relations laws.

 

The new regulatory context will place a range of new requirements and obligations on both parties, including requirements to bargain in good faith, and new provisions relating to unfair dismissal for all businesses.

 

This session will provide a general overview of the changes introduced by the Fair Work Act that will impact upon your business, including:

• The National Employment Standards
• Modern Awards
• Unfair dismissal and fair dismissal code for small business
• Collective bargaining framework
• Transitional arrangements
• General protections
• Industrial action
• Union right of entry
• Transfer of business

All employers, large and small are encouraged to attend this seminar to hear Alexandra Marriott, Manager of Workplace Relations Policy at VECCI, outline the changes introduced by the Fair Work Act that will impact upon your business.
