Workplace Update 2020 - Fair Work Compliance

Are you prepared if the Fair Work Ombudsman comes knocking? As managers, leaders and business owners who employ and manage staff, it’s important to ensure you keep up to date with ever-changing Modern Awards, employee entitlements and your obligations as an employer. Too many businesses in South Australia and across the country have been hit with underpayment of wages bills and penalties for underpaying their workers or incorrectly accruing their entitlements following audits by the Fair Work Ombudsman. The regulator has made it clear it will continue its strong approach to enforcement and outcomes during 2020 and will focus on underpayment breaches of Awards and the National Employment Standards. If your house isn’t in order, now is the time to get it right. Let us help you get the new year off to a positive start with our first Workplace Update for 2020, which will cover essential information relating to employer conditions including: • Overview of important changes to Modern Awards • Key recent changes to work arrangements • Impact for Award and Non-Award/Agreement-covered employees • Casual employees • Structuring wages • Allowances • Frequently asked questions of the Business Advice Hotline
