National Employment Standards - Update

The Federal Government has released the Fair Work Information Statement (FWIS). The FWIS can be downloaded from Fair Work Online at www.fairwork.gov.au.

The Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) (Act) requires that a copy of the FWIS be given to all new employees who commence employment after 1 January 2010. For casual employees, who may be engaged a number of times during the course of any year, the employer is only required to provide the FWIS once in any 12 month period.
