In June 2023, The Australian Government passed the Fair Work Legislation Amendment (Protecting Worker Entitlements) Act 2023. This means there are some changes to the Fair Work Act which have already come into effect, or will come into effect in the next year.
HR is a constantly evolving space and Impact HR are committed too both sharing our knowledge and keeping ourselves informed of changing legislation and best practice trends.
At Impact HR we continue to grow! We are delighted to join forces with our esteemed HR partners in the UK, Fitzgerald HR. As two leading HR consultancies on opposite sides of the world, we share a common commitment to excellence, innovation, and client satisfaction.
We spend a lot of time supporting clients to correctly allocate the people they engage as Employees, Contactor deemed an Employee or Independent Contractors. For some of our clients, the line can feel blurry in the beginning. Once you understand the definition, it is clear cut and easy to implement. If you are working with independent contractors, it’s important to confirm that the correct documentation is in place, and they don’t meet the definition of an employee by accident. 2022 High Court decisions impacted the definitions and compliance expectations. With pay-as-you-go, superannuation and FBT obligations for employers changing there are even more reasons to be aware and be across the details.
Post COVID the way we work is different and some things will never return to the way they were. For leaders and managers in SMEs this comes with some unique challenges. It is now common to have employees we have not met IRL (in real life) and our entire working relationship has been conducted virtually. So, what happens when either performance or changes in business needs (or ability to pay) means that you need to end an employment relationship?
