URGENT MESSAGE!
The Fair Work Bill is to be implemented mid 2009, with modern awards and the National Employment Standards (NES) to commence 1st January 2010.
If you thought the current award conditions were unreasonable or unworkable, wait until you see what is coming for 1st January 2010. Standby for increased casual loadings, penalty rates and overtime requirements.
Don’t forget- unfair dismissal (including for small business, with a longer qualifying period) and the creation of the one-stop-shop, Fair Work Australia all start in 1st July 2009.
Haycroft Workplace Solutions has the answers for you.
Option 1: You can do a Collective Agreement. In general you won’t be able to improve much on current conditions under the Award- however; you will be able to lock those terms in for another 5 years. The Modern Award and its draconian conditions then do not have effect on your business.
Option 2: Professional Employment Organisation service. Outsource your HR and reap the benefits. (see the PEO page for more details).
