Are you confident that your business is fully compliant with Australian Employee Relations legislation?
Navigating Australia's ever-changing ER legislation landscape is a time-consuming, brain-busting challenge for most businesses, but non-compliance is not an option and can lead to hefty penalties, reputational damage and operational disruptions.
With a raft of regulations and changes under the Fair Work Act, Modern Awards and other specific areas such as Health & Safety and Discrimination, it’s hard to even know where you stand!
Enter the Employee Matters ER Compliance Score Calculator - a fast, free, confidential self-assessment tool designed to help you get an instant picture of your overall level of compliance, and to identify areas of concern:
Understanding the Compliance Landscape in Australia
Australia’s employment laws are among the most comprehensive in the world. Businesses must adhere to a range of mandatory obligations, with recent changes covering a broad range of areas of ER concern, such as:
- Pay-secrecy obligations
- Family and domestic violence leave
- Discrimination
- Flexible work
- Changes to fixed-term contracts
- Respect@Work
- People@Work
- Changes to casual employment terms and conditions
- Independent contractors
- The right to disconnect
Failing to comply with these requirements can expose you to the risk of significant penalties, reputational damage and operational disruptions. For small and medium enterprises (SMEs), managing compliance manually is particularly challenging due to limited resources and expertise.
