Employment changes looming

Last month we wrote about how complex things were becoming for running a business, particularly when it came to employing staff and ensuring they are being paid properly.

Every time there is new Government it seems like one of the first areas they look to change is the employer/employee landscape. There has been a bit of publicity over the last week or so regarding a bill that has been introduced to Federal Parliament, the Fair Work Legislation (Secure Jobs, Better Pay) Bill.

Whilst there is still a lot to play out and no-one yet knows what the final changes will look like, it has the potential to result in some of the most significant changes to workplace relations since the introduction of the Fair Work Act in 2009.
