Hello and welcome to Episode 1409 of the People Powered Business Podcast!
Today is a technical update on the Industrial Relations reforms which
have recently been announced, and those which are currently before
parliament.
As there always is when there is a new Government, we can expect
change. Industrial relations is one of the areas they often seek to make
change, to support election promises and align the legislation with
their core values.
As part of this reform we are seeing a key focus on job security,
protecting employees rights, removing the gender pay gap and continued
wage increases.
At the time of recording the ‘Fair Work Legislation Amendment (Secure
Jobs Better Pay) Bill 2022 is before parliament, so right now there is a
whole lot yet to be confirmed.
But what we do know is that there have been recent changes to the
Paid Parental Leave Scheme and the introduction of Paid Family and
Domestic Violence Leave.
