Employer Bulletin | 19 December

Legislation to repeal Fair Pay Agreements passed its third reading in Parliament earlier this week, achieving an early milestone in the Government’s 100-day plan.

“We have moved quickly, as the public expects us to do, to implement one of our 100-day priorities and remove this blunt tool before any Fair Pay Agreements were finalised,” Minister for Workplace Relations and Safety Brooke van Velden says.

In today’s Bulletin

• Milestone reached on repeal of Fair Pay Agreements legislation
• Extending 90-day trial periods to all employers
• Annual current account deficit $30.6 billion
• Employment Court: two cases
• Employment Relations Authority: four cases
