Whether you run a small, medium or large business, there are complex changes that you must comply with. Getting it wrong could seriously cost you.
Laws that criminalise wage theft, right to disconnect laws that create confusion and complexity and strain goodwill with your employees, and the redefinition of casual employment – which narrows the circumstances in which an employee may be employed as a casual and reduces the ability to use casual workers – are just a few of the areas of concern.
The changes are coming fast and if you don’t understand them or simply ignore them, you’re at risk of substantial penalties.
