Employment Update - June 2009

WORKPLACE RELATIONS LAWS CHANGE

The Fair Work Act starts 1 July 2009. The Fair Work Act is to be phased in over 1 July 2009 to 1 January 2010. In this Employment Update we will briefly summarise those changes commencing from 1 July 2009.

It is expected that the changes under the Fair Work Act that commence on 1 July 2009 will lead to an increase in unfair dismissal claims and an increase in union involvement in workplace bargaining. They will also see the Australian Industrial Relations Commission replaced with the one-stop-shop – Fair Work Australia. It is important to note that these changes will only affect those employers/employees who are in the Federal workplace relations system.
