Employment Law Changes - Fair Work Australia - What does Your Business Need to do to be Compliant?
Stay ahead of the curve with the latest updates in Fixed-Term Employment Contracts! As of 6 December 2023, significant changes have been implemented in Fair Work legislation, impacting how we navigate fixed-term agreements.
Understanding the Changes
Let's dive into the key modifications you need to know. Firstly, there are now limits on the duration of fixed-term contracts, capped at two years, with stricter regulations on renewals and extensions. This shift aims to bolster job security and minimize uncertainty in employment arrangements.
Moreover, consecutive fixed-term contracts are now restricted, with employees limited to two successive contracts for identical or similar roles, except under specific circumstances. This change aims to safeguard against the potential exploitation of short-term employment contracts.
Ensuring Compliance
To ensure compliance with the updated regulations, it's crucial for any one who employs people to stay informed and adapt accordingly. We have revamped our approach to Fixed-Term Employment Contracts and we now offer template contracts that align seamlessly with the new legal framework, particularly regarding the duration of fixed-term agreements.
