Modern Award Compliance Check
Modern awards and the National Employment Standards (NES) took effect on 1 January 2010. Every private sector employer (whether a company or not) needs to comply.
Let the Coleman Greig Employment Law Team help you get it right with the Modern Award and Contract Compliance Check. To review the information we require from you to undertake the Compliance Check, please click on the Compliance Check link here.
For less than $500 we can:
- advise you which modern award or awards apply to your business, and
- review your existing employment contracts and advise you whether or not they comply.
Just ask yourself the following questions – and if you are in doubt with any of these issues, then your organisation may not be complying.
- Do you know which modern awards will apply to your business?
- Are you aware of the changes arising from the NES (eg extensions to parental leave rights, rights to request flexible work arrangements, changed rules for cashing out leave or directing employees to take annual leave)?
- Are you aware of the future status of old agreements such as AWAs, ITEAs and EBAs?
- Do any employees covered by an award count as “highly paid employees” (guaranteed income exceeds $118,100) so that the award may not apply?
- Do you comply with current rates of pay and classifications, casual loadings, overtime rules?
- Have you reviewed your employment contracts, policies and practices to ensure they are consistent with the NES?
Coleman Greig’s Employment Law Team can help you address these issues upfront. Contact Stephen Booth or Anna Ford to get their advice and to get your contracts and policies brought into line with current law.
