Fair Work Act 2009 - Executives & Managers

Since 1st January 2010 almost all industrial relations claims, unlawful discrimination allegations, redundancies, employment disputes and financial awards dealt by employment claim solicitors for executives and managers will rely on the new Fair Work Act 2009 (FWA) which has replaced the previous Work Choices legislation. The most obvious change that this legislation has brought about relates to unfair dismissal and unlawful dismissal. Probably the most contentious matter introduced by the FWA is in regards to the protection now offered to employees of smaller businesses with the FWA applying to businesses with more than 15 employees whereas the previous minimum limit was 100 employees. A lot more employees have now been brought under the protection of the legislation. The FWA also includes new provisions for redundancy, disputes, awards and parental leave. Maximum financial awards have been codified and it is anticipated that not only will more employees qualify for an award but there will be a general increase in the amounts that are awarded.
