The South Australian Business Chamber Today — Thursday 16 September, 2021
Did you know that the Sex Discrimination and Fair Work (Respect at Work) Amendment Act 2021 has now received Royal Assent and commenced on 11 September 2021? The Respect at Work Act was introduced by the Federal Government to strengthen the existing legal landscape for dealing with workplace sexual harassment and related conduct and extend the minimum entitlement for compassionate leave in relation to miscarriage.
The Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry has produced a helpful Respect@Work Employer Guide to assist in navigating the changes to the Sex Discrimination Act, Fair Work Act and the Australian Human Rights Commission Act. The guide answers common questions employers may have about the changes and outlines what action employers may consider taking.
