Back on Monday An update on recent changes to the Fair Work Act

What began with the invention of Wi-Fi and the laptop all those years ago, and later accelerated by the advent of COVID-19, the up-ending of the traditional ideas of ‘an office workplace’ and ‘9 to 5’ has truly arrived.
In Australia, the employment law landscape is undergoing significant change with amendments to the Fair Work Act, introduced by the current Labor Government.
In this webinar, we look at the latest evolution of the Fair Work Act including:
The new ‘right to disconnect’; a new definition of ‘casual employees’, and ‘employees’ generally; the new position on contractors vs employees; and
Superannuation changes.
We will also provide updates on emerging workplace trends such as excessive absenteeism; and the state of play with General Protections claims, following the High Court’s recent decision in Qantas Airways Limited v Transport Workers Union of Australia.
Presenter
Presented by Samuel Ellemor, Accredited Specialist (Workplace Relations Law), this webinar looks at the recent and, perhaps controversial, updates to the employment law landscape, and the impact of these on employers, employees and the office workplace.
