The Federal Government is seeking feedback on a number of proposed Fair Work reforms, including strengthening anti-discrimination and adverse action protections, classifying casuals, and criminalising wage theft.
The Federal Government has released a draft strategy to overhaul Australia's "broken" and "crazily complex" migration system, with a major review confirming it is "not fit for purpose" and that some elements, such as labour market testing, should be scrapped entirely.
The Federal Government's proposed 'same job, same pay' reforms are "ignorant" of the factors that determine workers' wages, and too broad and clumsy to work in practice, employer representatives say.
Business representatives are lobbying hard ahead of the Federal Government's third tranche of employment law reforms to ensure professional contractors don't get caught up in provisions designed to protect casual workers.
The Labor Government has introduced its second tranche of promised workplace relations reforms, aiming to close the "loopholes that some businesses use to undercut workers' pay, security and flexibility".
General protections claims are the fastest-growing category of applications in the Fair Work Commission, with reforms now underway to stem the tide. This webinar will discuss important developments in both procedural issues and case law.
