Employment & Labour Law
Employees in Australia have a range of statutory rights and obligations in connection with their employment, covering minimum terms and conditions, work health and safety, anti-discrimination and superannuation. These are principally set out in the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth), and employers must comply with the relevant legal requirements whenever they dismiss, terminate or make an employee redundant. It is therefore essential for anyone working or employing staff in Australia to clearly understand their rights and obligations under employment law. Employees who are unaware of their rights may suffer unnecessary financial loss, while employers who are unclear about their obligations may face substantial penalties from government agencies.
