The Fair Work Act 2009 sets out a number of requirements that business, including small business, needs to be aware of. Best practice employers know and understand their rights and obligations under workplace law and know who to contact for assistance.
This Best Practice Guide explains:
- the safety net of minimum employment conditions
- the obligation to bargain in good faith at the
enterprise level
- obligations to keep records and provide pay slips
- unfair dismissal laws that apply to small business
- protections for employees and obligations
of employers
- the functions of the Fair Work Ombudsman (FWO)
and Fair Work Australia (FWA).
