Keeping up to date with labour law developments is one of the biggest challenges facing Australian managers and businesses. Without a doubt, the previous government’s Work Choices legislation represents the most radical redirection of Australian labour law since the conciliation and arbitration system was introduced in 1904. The amendments vastly reduce the role of awards and the Australian Industrial Relations Commission and increase the role of enterprise bargaining. Work Choices sets up a new system for determining the minimum wage, and reduces dismissal protection for employees.

Problem is, not only is the new legislation often vague and open to misinterpretation, it is constantly changing, with the courts setting new precedents and requiring you, the employer, to constantly adapt your policies to comply.

Even something that used to be simple - working out an employee’s minimum wage entitlement - now depends on such things as the ‘legal personality’ of the employer… what instrument regulated the wage immediately before Work Choices commenced on 27 March 2006… when the employer first started employing people… and when the employee started with the employer
