About the Webinar

Recent changes to the Fair Work Act mean that the incorrect interpretation and application of an award may now result in a prosecution. Now more than ever it is important to not only keep on top of each of developments in each of the modern awards but also ensure their provisions are correctly interpreted and applied (and that evidence of this is retained!) To assist employers with this monumental task, this session explores:

  • The key aspects of recent changes to key awards
  • A practical step-by-step guide to interpreting the awards including recent judicial commentary about key terms
  • How the contract and award fit together, how you can get flexibility under the award and tips for preparing contracts that supplement award entitlements
  • Areas which are likely to change in the foreseeable future as a result of the reforms, policies of the Fair Work Commission and Ombudsman and judicial trends.
