NEW REPORT EXAMINES CYBERCRIME ON NSW SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS A new report published by the Office of the NSW Small Business Commissioner examines the experiences and perceptions of NSW small business owners and cybercrime.

Cybercrime is not unique to NSW. It’s a national problem, and the report will be of interest to many small businesses.

Some key findings of the report are: • Around half of the businesses surveyed felt their limited online presence meant that they’re protected against cybercrime.

Unfortunately, this isn’t the case.

• Around one in three small to medium-sized businesses in NSW have been victims of cybercrime.

• Cybercrime is rated by SMEs as the fifth biggest risk to

8 | AUG/SEP 2017 | SECURITY INSIDER

their business.

• The cost of cybercrime to businesses in Australia is rising exponentially, costing Australians an estimated $1 billion each year.

mySA GOV DIGITAL LICENSING APP South Australian’s can now digitise selected Government issued passes and licences with the mySA GOV app.

Passes and licences available on the app Digital passes and licences will be available through a staged release starting with Proof of Age Cards, Boat Licences, and Land Agent and Sales Representative Registrations which are now available on the app. Users can also set up vehicle registration renewal notifications which will send notifications to their phone when their vehicle registration is due.

Digital Occupational Licences for security and investigations agents, builders, plumbers, gas fitters, and electricians will be released in the second half of 2017.

Additional functions and passes will be added to the app as they become available.

Each digital pass and licence will include a barcode which can be scanned and verified. The one-

time barcode will be generated each time the app is accessed, and for every 30 seconds it is in use to prevent fake digital passes and licences from being used.

What does this mean for security and investigations agents?

Digital passes and licences may help streamline how you verify proof of identity, and can assist you in keeping records of who was verified and when.

Digital passes and licences displayed in the mySA GOV app are a valid form of identification.

As some pass or licence holders may choose to only carry their digital pass or licence, you can create a mySA GOV account and install the mySA GOV app on an Apple or Android smartphone or tablet so that digital passes or licences can be verified.

If you do not have access to a smartphone or tablet, you can view the digital pass or licence as you would a physical pass or licence by sighting the digital version in the mySA GOV app on the pass/ licence holders device. A "shake-

to-animate" security feature has been added to the app, which will animate the screen and display a “tick” when the phone is shaken to show that it is not a screenshot.

If you have specific processes which require physical passes or licences to be presented then this can be requested from the licence holder. Standard physical licences and passes will remain in use for the foreseeable future and will still be provided to all licence holders.

For more information about the mySA GOV app visit my.sa.gov.au

ASIAL AN ACTIVE PARTICIPANT IN INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS DEVELOPMENT ASIAL is actively participating in supporting standards development for the security industry through its involvement with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).

IEC is an international standards organisation which sits under the umbrella of the United Nations and is based in Geneva, Switzerland. The IEC is a non-profit, non-governmental organisation that prepares and publishes International Standards for all electrical, electronic and related technologies.

In June 2017 Australian

Standards hosted the inaugural IEC committee at their offices in Sydney.

Delegates came from around the world to participate in the annual IEC Technical Committee 79 Alarm and electronic security systems meeting. ASIAL was delighted to sponsor this meeting.

Industry experts contributed to workgroups covering Access Control System, CCTV (now renamed IP Video Surveillance Systems (VSS) and Building Intercom Systems. These workgroups play an important role in developing future standards.

COAG - PRIORITY NATIONAL RESPONSES TO TERROR AND SECURITY THREATS The Council of Australian Governments (COAG) held its 44th meeting on 9 June, in Hobart. Leaders welcomed Premiers Berejiklian and McGowan to their first meeting.

Given recent events, leaders focussed on ensuring the safety of all Australians. Leaders agreed to further strengthen collaboration to prevent and respond to terrorism and other threats to public safety, underpinned by strong justice and national security systems.

With significant changes underway in Australia’s energy market, leaders also focussed on working together to guarantee the security, reliability and affordability of energy.

Leaders agreed the importance of a strong education system for the future growth and prosperity of our nation and discussed the role of a needs-based funding model in maximising student outcomes and ensuring no student is left behind.

Leaders also made progress on other key elements of COAG’s strategic forward agenda, furthering discussions on critical reforms to improve social and economic outcomes, including for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders.

Priority national responses to terror and security threats COAG discussed current and emerging security risks,

reaffirming their commitment to working collaboratively to strengthen Australia’s defences and responses.

First ministers agreed that they will ensure there will be a presumption that neither bail nor parole will be granted to those persons who have demonstrated support for, or have links to, terrorist activity.

First ministers agreed that they will reconvene as soon as practicable at a special COAG to fully and more comprehensively review the nation’s laws and practices directed at protecting Australians from violent extremism.

COAG agreed that there will be integration of security-cleared state and territory corrections staff with the state and territory police, AFP and ASIO Joint Counter-Terrorism Team in each jurisdiction to improve information sharing.

Leaders noted the AustraliaNew Zealand Counter-Terrorism Committee is developing a Strategy for the Protection of Crowded Places from Terrorism and agreed that close cooperation between all levels of government and with the private sector is critical to preserving our enjoyment of these places.

COAG discussed

practical steps all governments can take to strengthen the cyber security of public and private IT systems in the context of the WanaCry ransomware campaign.

Leaders agreed to refer further consideration of a nationally consistent approach to organised crime legislation, including a nationally consistent set of principles to guide legislative responses, to Attorneys-General and Police Ministers for further examination and report back to COAG. The Commonwealth, states and territories committed to continuing to work together, and with industry, to manage the shared national security risks arising from foreign involvement in Australia’s critical infrastructure.

NEW FIREARMS LEGISLATION FOR A SAFER SOUTH AUSTRALIA From Saturday 1 July 2017, the new Firearms Act 2015 and Firearms Regulations 2017 legislation became operative in South Australia.

The date coincides with the commencement of the National Firearms Amnesty and a new, permanent General Firearms Amnesty in South Australia.

Developed after several years of industry consultation, the new state firearms legislation will enhance public safety by specifically targeting criminals and reinforcing obligations on licensed firearms owners by introducing higher standards of security for the privilege of owning firearms.

New offences, penalties and powers for police and the Registrar of Firearms have been introduced with the key changes including: • Firearms Prohibition Orders

can be issued against a member or former member of a criminal organisation, including an outlaw motorcycle gang.

Boosted minimum standards for security, storage and transport of firearms and ammunition governed by a Code of Practice.

Periods of automatic licence disqualification for those found guilty of serious offences.

Introduction of mandatory reporting of unsafe situations where firearms are kept, including where mental health issues are known.

South Australia’s current state firearms amnesty, commenced in December 2015, will remain as an ongoing general amnesty from Saturday 1 July 2017.

This will provide people with a permanent system to surrender unwanted, old or unsafe firearms.

A 12 month transition period will assist those existing firearms licensees who need to upgrade their security arrangements.

ASIAL INDIVIDUAL PROFESSIONAL RECOGNITION PROGRAM Q&A The ASIAL Individual Professional Recognition Program sets the benchmark for security professionals looking to progress their careers and be recognised by employers, peers and end users.

Individuals who meet the entry criteria are eligible to receive the post-nominal credential of either MASIAL, AFASIAL, FASIAL or FASIAL (Life) which provide a picture of one’s security experience and capability, a commitment to practice in accordance with the highest professional and ethical standards and a strong affiliation with the Association.

Natalie Shymko, ASIAL’s Marketing and Communications Manager, asks Suzette PoWilliams, ASIAL’s first Associate Fellow (AFASIAL) and Customer Service Manager with Central Monitoring Services Pty Ltd about her thoughts on the industry.

biggest changes in the industry?

SUZETTE: The roles are essentially the same as they have always been, for example, guards still observe and report; patrol officers still perform lock ups, random patrols and respond to alarms; monitoring centres still provide alarm monitoring services, however as an industry we do those tasks differently now. Technology has created better ways to observe report and respond, and there is more demand for professionalism.

There is more demand for a well-trained professional security operative than ever before.

NATALIE: What is the best piece of advice you have been given?

SUZETTE: From my current employer who says, “In this industry you can either coast along or you can make a difference and lead by example in everything you do.”

NATALIE: What has been a career highlight for you?

SUZETTE: That’s a hard question. I’ve been a very proud and humbled recipient of an ASIAL Training Award in 2011 and Management Award in 2013. I was also profoundly humbled to receive an Australian Security Foundation Medal for conspicuous service to the industry in 2013. These awards all show a positive image for the security industry and I feel honoured to receive them. Last year I was also proud to be the first to receive AFASIAL status.

I consider myself fortunate and privileged to have worked in the security industry for so many years. I think the highlight of my career is the day to day that I do.

I help people to protect what is important to them, I consult and resolve their problems, and I help them to feel safer in the world we live.

I have worked on some unique projects and in some cases have created and implemented programs that have resulted in lives being saved and people being protected from threat to life issues.

NATALIE: What have been the

NATALIE: What is the biggest

NATALIE: How did you get started in the security industry?

SUZETTE: Basically I needed a job over the Christmas break.

I was 17 years old when I started in the security industry.

My first role was in debt collection with Orange Security Services, then one night we were down a patrol officer so they put me out on the road. It was a small company with all hands on deck.

I now have experience in many aspects of security from debt collection and patrol work to guarding and cash in transit.

challenge/opportunity facing the industry over the next five years?

SUZETTE: The biggest challenge has always been the industry’s image. Sadly the media grab and print headlines portray us in a negative light. We are and have always been a profession, dedicated and caring. We take pride in what we do and how we do it. We are an essential service. Whilst Australia cannot function without the security industry, our security operatives are undervalued by the public, the media, the government and our emergency services despite the responsibilities entrusted to us by them.

Over the past five years there has been some positive change towards our industry. Our image is improving due to ASIAL’s marketing campaigns, the awards programs and getting the good news stories out there. The momentum of these changes should see an improvement towards our industry’s reputation over the next five years and beyond.

Technology is also a big opportunity for us such as cameras, emergency announcement/ warning intercoms, access control, facial recognition and more. Whilst these will become more common in our industry we shouldn’t lose sight of having men or women on the ground.

People need people and there are opportunities for our industry to upskill and improve on traditional Continued Page 16 >

SMARTER BUILDINGS WILL COMMAND WHAT YOU BUY You’re driving home, it’s just before dinner and you realise that in 48 hours it’s your 10th anniversary. Most of us would panic at the thought of being empty handed and staring into the disappointed face of our partner. “I ran out of time” just won’t cut it as an excuse. Failure is not an option.

Rest easy, your new best friend, a digital assistant, will just take care of it all. “Alexa please order me a [bracelet, cuff links] and have it delivered the next day.”

Just like that the physical world of real items collides with the digital world of artificial intelligence and online shopping.

Most of us would marvel at this lucky, last-minute escape from the grips of spousal disappointment.

Yes folks, we are talking about the advent of building automation devices manufactured by three of the world’s tech giants. Devices such as Amazon’s Echo and Dot

products, Apple’s Pod and Google Home are no longer limited to just activating and controlling lights, locks and access control systems. In May, Amazon’s Echo product began allowing voice and video phone calls for free much like Apple’s Facetime, and now online purchasing is enabled too.

At Security Lease, we’re wondering if this pending technological change marks a historical moment of reckoning for security and automation integrators.

At the heart of this move from the traditional world of tech giants (PCs, laptops and mobiles) to your home and office is the fact that much of our shopping and purchase decisions occurs online.

These companies are targeting EVERYTHING YOU BUY. As one journalist recently said, “Once you have an Amazon Echo in your kitchen…buying stuff on Amazon becomes so easy even a

kindergartener can do it.”

Hence, we are about to see an arms race in the battle to control our physical world (home and office) because it is an entry point to significantly influencing our shopping.

For integrators, it will be crucial to understand the relative merits of different smart building solutions. A more agile and skilled workforce that can rapidly integrate security systems, automation and energy management solutions will thrive as the technology convergence continues to rapidly occur.

Q&A

Q&A

WITH ASIAL’S VICE PRESIDENT, JOHN GELLEL Natalie Shymko, ASIAL’s Marketing and Communications Manager speaks to our new Vice President, John Gellel.

Natalie: Thank you for your time today. I wanted to start with you telling us a little about yourself.

John: My start into the security industry was during 1998 at Direct Alarm Supplies (DAS, part of Hills Industries), where I learnt the basics of security alarms, access control and CCTV. I progressed through various roles at DAS and then joined Ademco Group (part of Honeywell Limited) in 2001, where I spent the next 15 years of my career, mostly as General Manager Honeywell Security Group & ADI Global Distribution. In 2014, I was elected onto the ASIAL Board of Directors and served this role until 2016. Last year, I joined Kastle Systems Australia as their General Manager.

From a personal perspective, I grew up and spent most of my life in Melbourne, until 2007, when I moved to Sydney to take on the GM role for ADI Global Distribution. I am now happily settled in Sydney with my family. > 18 | AUG/SEP 2017 | SECURITY INSIDER

Q&A

Natalie: Congratulations on the ASIAL Vice President election results.

John: It is a privilege and an honour to be appointed as Vice President for ASIAL. I am looking forward to working with the Association’s Board and membership, and hope that my term as Vice President will be as successful as my predecessor.

I enjoyed my prior term as an ASIAL director and believed my contribution further supported the needs of ASIAL members and our industry.

Natalie: I am sure you have seen many changes in the industry.

What are some of these changes?

John: By far, the largest change I have witnessed in the security industry is the industry shift, which is now recognised as a profession through licencing, Australian standards and code of conducts.

Whilst we have a long way to go, the public, as well as law enforcement, recognise people in the security industry as trusted professionals that can assist both the public and organisations to keep them safe and secure.

Another significant change in our industry is the advancement of technology.

When I first started in 1998, we were selling CCTV sequential switchers and got excited when we could record (on VHS tape…) one frame every second! With alarms, we were all excited when we could ‘connect’ to our premises via PSTN and remotely turn a light switch on…

(although the panel never provided feedback to acknowledge the light was on or not). Fast forward nearly 20 years and we now use CCTV with advanced analytics to manage our business more efficiently. We are using access control through apps and the access control panel now provides building insights into what areas (in my building) are being used and how often.

Natalie: What are some of the industry changes you are seeing today?

John: Cybersecurity, data analytics and the Internet of Things (IoT) are key technology trends which organisations are aiming to address now. The security industry should recognise these trends and formulate strategies to support their customers’ needs. IT and physical security were largely separate areas, with separate needs and budgets.

Today, physical security often comes under the IT department, which means the way we design, implement and manage a security system must be in conjunction with the organisation’s IT policies and processes. I am often asked by organisations, ‘how will our proposed security system manage the threats of cyber security?’ Many IT professionals remember the large DDOS attacks, which blocked sites such as Twitter, Netflix and CNN in October (2016), were made possible by hacked cameras and other devices.

On a regulatory front, I am seeing stronger collaboration between the public, industry and associations with regulators to further improve standards and the professionalism of our industry. Our regulators play a vital role in the future of our industry, which benefits us all.

Natalie: Do you think there is a skills shortage in the industry?

John: Absolutely. Whilst our industry has historically grown at approximately the rate of CPI,

I believe we have restricted our growth through the shortage of skilled technicians and sales professionals. Against other industries, our industry has some technologies which make homes and buildings smarter, yet the public or organisations still believe security is only installed to protect people or premises. We also need a nationally recognised apprenticeship program which recognises our industry as its own trade and profession. We must continue to bring people through a structured program to support the technical skills shortage we have today.

Natalie: What will be your top two focus points as ASIAL Vice President?

John: 1. Continue to raise the professionalism in our industry through promotion of ASIAL’s Individual Recognition Program, collaboration with key government and major organisation stakeholders, as well as promoting the benefits of (end users) using an ASIAL member.

2. Support the growth of our industry by actively promoting latest security technologies to government and major users which will make the end user’s organisation more efficient and safer.

Natalie: Lastly, how is your role at Kastle Systems going?

John: I spent some time researching Kastle Systems prior to being appointed last year and heard many positive stories and comments which are all true.

Kastle Systems revolves around the customer service it delivers, the team are gracious in their behaviour and are supported with providing end users great technologies. The company recently celebrated its 45 year anniversary during which our CEO (Piyush Sodha) shared a copy of an internal newsletter from 1983 - these same founding principles apply today. si

WHY GOOD

SECURITY MATTERS

g

By Ben Beville, Risk Advisor, Southern Cross Protection

Why do you work in security? Is it a job or a higher calling? Does it merely pay the bills, or does it serve some greater purpose?

Who cares if you’re good at what you do? Why do we need good security? Why does any of it really matter?

I

’d like to take you on a brief philosophical digression which I hope will lead to dialogue about why I believe your job matters, regardless of what you do within our security industry. Although my goal is ultimately to influence advancements to National Security by raising awareness about the civilian role within that framework, you may find some very practical applications relevant to other aspects of your business or your life. It begins with a story.

Years ago, secluded in an East African desert during a particularly testing military deployment, I stumbled across an idea that radically transformed every aspect of my life: my attitude, motivation, priorities, relationships, career, and even faith.

I was on the rebound from an eightyear lifetime low, with a new family on the horizon, having achieved so much yet so little, seemingly imprisoned within an existence I didn't understand. It was well and truly a full-fledged existential crisis.

Locked up inside a little fortress

20 | AUG/SEP 2017 | SECURITY INSIDER

of solitude I had built for myself, I eventually found the answers I was looking for. In short, it occurred to me that all living creatures appeared to share a common purpose. I observed that the life of every living thing since the advent of life on Earth has either succeeded or failed in achieving only one, single contribution of significance to the rest of the world: to evolve. If enough individuals achieve successful evolution, the group at large will endure. If enough individuals fail, the group at large becomes endangered or extinct.

The only way to effectively measure an individual’s success is to view it in the context of many generations.

Therefore, the success of progeny becomes more important than the individual’s, per se.

Was it possible that for any individual—of any species, not just humans—success in the grand scheme could not be measured through isolated achievements, but rather through the degree of evolution achieved over the lifetime of that individual and its progeny?

Over the course of an entire lifetime, how well did that individual survive?

How well did it adapt to changing environments? How much did it contribute to the survival and advancement of others? How much did it evolve and contribute to the evolution of its species? What did it leave behind?

I found this notion applied also to any social group. Companies, by the way, are a group of individuals, so I believe this is equally relevant to your business. Why does your business exist? If the answer is simply “to make money”, then the business is not likely to last. It can’t. The only way your business can last is if it contributes to society’s need to survive and evolve.

The more people you help, the more successful your business will be.

There is one essential factor which I’ve found will either promote or inhibit the success of individuals and social groups, more than any other: security. You may be familiar with Abraham Maslow’s, Hierarchy of Needs. Maslow found that after meeting all our essential

SECURITY FEATURE

physiological needs such as food, water, and shelter, the next tier of most important needs related to our safety: security of body, employment, resources, morality, family, health, and property. Furthermore, modern Neuroscience teaches us that a brain under constant fear and stress is incapable of peak performance. We can conclude then that security is essential for a highly successful life. It may be that the success of our legacy is more important than our personal success, but without good security, neither is possible.

Australians take good security for granted. That’s not a criticism, by any means. That’s a beautiful thing.

It’s why I migrated here. After seeing much of the world, I concluded that this was the very best place on Earth for me to settle down and build a family. There is a certain je ne sais quoi which is ubiquitous in Australian life and provides all the foundations for an ideal, advanced society; I’ve not seen this anywhere else in the world. My sense is that this allure is inextricably linked to the cultural

tendency by most Australians to feel secure in their environment.

Australia has problems, of course, but not really. Syria has problems; Iraq has problems; Somalia has problems. In 2015, Australia had four cities ranked Top 10 in the EIC Global Liveability Report. In 2016, 29 cities received worse scores due to fear of terrorism, and Sydney dropped off the Top 10 list I’d speculate due to housing affordability; three Australian cities remained in the Top 10.Your typical Aussie works hard during the week, enjoys the weekend, has access to better food and coffee than anywhere else I’ve ever been, has access to great healthcare and education, is very conscious about fitness and nutrition, and is very interested in general wellness and personal growth. Australians don’t really stress much about anything: “she’ll be right mate”. I would posit that it’s because Australians feel so safe that they’re then able to focus on making the most out of life. Taking good security for granted is in my view an essential enabler of the

Australian way of life.

If Australia is at one extreme of the spectrum, what does the opposite extreme look like?

I grew up in Costa Rica, an impoverished country where regardless of social status, everybody lives in a steel cage.You don’t walk outdoors after dark—to do so will invite violence against you. Despite strict gun laws, criminals have no problem arming themselves. Police and the Judiciary are corrupt and incompetent. My childhood homes were burglarised two dozen times.

We had many guard dogs over the years, but they all died from either disease, poison or bullets. At age 10, I was mugged and beat up by four thugs 25-metres from my front door. At age 16, I caught a burglar in our home in the middle of the night; during the scuffle, my elderly father sustained a serious injury and never properly walked again. He would eventually pass away from health conditions directly attributable to the stress of living decades without satisfying his fundamental need for

SECURITY FEATURE

good security.

By the time I was 18, I didn’t need an epiphany to know I had no future there, so I moved to the U.S. and joined the military. Throughout my career I had many opportunities to see the world. I worked in places where honest people struggled to satisfy even their bare necessities for food and shelter. Their survival was constantly threatened by disease, crime, piracy, or war. The curious phenomenon about some of these places was that culturally, it seemed to me, human life had no value—life was almost disposable.

In those environments, there was no opportunity to think about posh things like personal development, education, or even future.

In environments where security is inadequate to meet the threats, very few people can achieve anything significant in life. People’s primary focus is survival, and they survive for a time, but eventually they die, leaving their progeny to endure the same struggles. It’s incredibly difficult to break that cycle.

Good security is important because it shapes the environment where everyone must achieve his or her purpose. If you don’t have to worry about your survival or the survival of your loved ones, it allows you to focus your resources towards other, more productive endeavours: getting a good education; growing your business; developing your untapped potential; spending quality time with your family; enjoying life.

When you’re able to take good security for granted, you can do all these things.

This is where we as security professionals come in: our role is to protect the members of our social groups so that they can continue to take good security for granted.

This will create the environment that empowers our society to achieve collective success.

In today’s world, good security and higher evolution require money. If you

don’t believe me, go preach fitness and nutrition to a homeless person who hasn’t eaten all week; talk about education to a teenager who lives in a slum and continuously misses school due to preventable diseases; or talk about self-actualisation to a single parent who works two full-time jobs and still struggles to provide for her children. The same is true for businesses; for businesses to evolve, there must be a commercial incentive, and indeed I believe there is.

It might make more sense to look at evolution in terms of Earning Before Interest & Tax (EBIT). Increasing EBIT is notionally simple: drive sales up and costs down. You might agree that there is a limit to how much you can cut costs before you begin shrinking your business, delivering shoddy products or services, and running into staff turnover problems.You can, for instance, reduce cost of goods, reduce overheads, reduce wages, reduce people, demand more sales.

In that classical approach, either the business will fail, or the business will succeed at the expense of its people.

That might work for a time, but in most cases, it can’t yield sustainable growth; whether it does or it doesn’t, it invariably promotes a toxic culture that cannibalises the people who work there.

Consider a different model, if I may—and this is by no means a “new thing” I’ve come up with all on my own. As a sanity check, I perused through a Business Insider article from April 2016,“The 50 best companies to work for in America,” looking for companies who have figured this all out without my insights: Apple, ExxonMobil, Ford, Texas Instruments, 3M, KimberlyClark, DuPont, Dow Chemical, Intel, Motorola, eBay, Expedia, Cisco Systems, American Express, Pfizer, Microsoft, Chevron, Johnson & Johnson, Microsoft, Symantec, Google, and many others.

All 50 companies on that list invest

heavily in innovation, efficiency, skill, job satisfaction, and staff wellness: key ingredients for the evolution of people and businesses. Across the board, the operating costs go up, unbelievably so, but the human cost is low. The net result is increased productivity, skill, quality, and passion; and if you’ve ever spent more than a day in sales, you’ll quickly note that all these things together lead to increased revenue. Because all the companies surveyed by Business Insider were Fortune 500 companies, we can deduce this has had a positive impact on their EBIT. My message which I will build and expand on in future issues of Security Insider is this: 1) Whether you’re a person or a business, I believe with great conviction that your job serves a purpose far greater than yourself.

2) To achieve that purpose, you must continually stand strong in the face of adversity, adapt to new environments and threats, challenge the status quo, and strive for continual selfimprovement.

3) Good security is the quintessential element that makes large-scale growth possible, and it’s the very cornerstone of the Australian way of life.

As security professionals, it’s our social responsibility to ensure everyday Australians can continue to take good security for granted.You may have an opinion that nothing terrible will ever happen here because nothing ever has, so there’s no reason to do anything different. I respect that this opinion is statistically justified.

I sense, however, there is a growing number of us who read the writing on the wall and identify more with the famous words of Lord Eddard Stark, “winter is coming.” si Evolution is in our case not a random process, but rather a deliberate choice... So, my final question for you is: what choice will you make?

Q&A

g

By Chris Delaney, ASIAL Industrial Relations Advisor

Chris Delaney, ASIAL’s Workplace Relations Advisor speaks to Fair Work Ombudsman Director of Knowledge Solution, Cletus Brown about supply chain issues.

CHRIS: Cletus, welcome back. It’s good to have a chat to you again.

CHRIS: Welcome back Cletus, nice of you to finally make it.

CLETUS: Always a pleasure Chris – good to see you.

CHRIS: I presume you have been too busy cooking up some new fan-dangled policy to meet your twomonthly commitment with me.

CLETUS: (laughing) Well your welcomes haven’t got any better! I thought you meant two a year not one every two months. I promise I will try harder from now on. Anyhow, let’s get on with it – what are you going to grill me about this time?

CHRIS: Good idea. Supply chains mate. They are common in our industry and I know the Fair Work Ombudsman (FWO) is looking at them, so tell us what you are up to in this space.

CLETUS: Good choice. We are increasingly focusing on labour hire supply chains, and as you rightfully say, the security industry is a big player in this area. Natalie James, the 28 | AUG/SEP 2017 | SECURITY INSIDER

Fair Work Ombudsman, has made it quite clear in a number of her public comments that it is important that all participants in a labour hire supply chain ensure that there is

enough money at all points to make sure each worker can receive their full entitlements. That is the starting point really.

FWO Q&A

CHRIS: That is fair enough in theory but surely if a business contracts work out to another business, it is the sub-contractor’s responsibility to ensure their workers are paid correctly. And, as it happens often in our industry, where there is a further level, or levels, of sub-contracting, the chief contractor can’t be held responsible for making sure each worker is paid correctly.

CLETUS: We believe that, in the situation you just described, the chief contractor has, at the very least, an ethical and moral obligation, and possibly a legal one, to ensure all workers contributing to their operation are paid correctly. I’m certain the chief contractor would be interested in the performance of the workers and the possible damage they could do to their brand so we are saying they need to go a small step further and make sure the workers receive their full entitlements.

CHRIS: Come on, get in the real world. How does a chief contractor for a major event ensure all workers are paid properly when there may be five or 10 or sometimes more subcontractors involved?

CLETUS: The same way they ensure the quality of the work that is going to be performed in their name. We are not saying the chief contractor has to do the payroll for each worker but they need to ensure that there is enough money at the top of the labour hire supply chain and then put in place procedures to check that what the sub-contractors are doing is correct. Think of it as brand protection if you like.

CHRIS: But even with the best intentions and procedures in place, mistakes can happen. What happens then, will the FWO come in with a big stick and prosecute our members?

CLETUS: If we did have a big stick I think we’d prefer to use it on you!

CHRIS: (laughs), No seriously, our members do worry that the FWO will prosecute them if they make genuine mistakes.

CLETUS: Our Compliance and Enforcement Policy and our Litigation Policy clearly set out that is not how we operate. If an employer has made a genuine mistake and they work with us to rectify it and make their operation compliant going forward that is usually the end of it for us. We have plenty of people, across a range of industries not just security, who are deliberately doing the wrong thing and we are much more interested in pursuing them.

CHRIS: Explain what FWO can do to help provide security employers who are involved in labour hire supply chains?

CLETUS: Our main advice would be to speak to experts like ASIAL. CHRIS: Good start.

CLETUS: And we have a range of tools online at fairwork.gov.au to

help. As you know, we developed these in consultation with experts from a range of industries who use labour hire supply chains. ASIAL’s contribution was really important in that piece of work and the feedback we have received on them has been really positive.

CHRIS: I agree they are good products and it was good to work together on them.

CLETUS: The ‘real world’ aspect that group’s like ASIAL can bring to the development of these products is vital.

CHRIS: There is so much more we can talk about in this space – do you think you could make it back in two months’ time?

CLETUS: Sure mate – looking forward to it. si FWO will address the next round of ASIAL Industry Breakfast Briefings on supply chain management. See page 42 for details.

INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS

FAIR WORK COMMISSION

DECIDES ON CASUAL CONVERSION g

By Chris Delaney, Industrial Relations Advisor, ASIAL

In the February 2016 edition of Security Insider Magazine we wrote about “casuals” in the security industry. Now, with a decision of the Fair Work Commission (FWC) that modern awards should contain a process for casual employees to elect to convert to full-time or part-time employment it is a good time to consider the use of casuals once again.

A small number of modern awards have had a casual conversion clause in place for some time – the Security Services Industry Award 2010 and 105 other modern awards have not.

The decision of the FWC comes as part of its four-yearly modern award review. The FWC accepted the ACTU position that there was a need for a 'conversion' mechanism for certain casual employees because by remaining casual, the employees miss out on part-time or full-time benefits such as personal and annual leave.

According to data relied upon by the FWC 29% of casual employees work full-time hours and 60% of those employees had been working regular shifts for six months or more.

THE DECISION The model casual conversion clause will provide that a person 30 | AUG/SEP 2017 | SECURITY INSIDER

who is engaged as a regular casual employee for a period of 12 months may request that their employment be converted from casual employment to part-time or full-time employment, subject to specified criteria and restrictions: • the employer must provide all casual employees with a copy of the casual conversion clause within 12 months of their initial engagement; • a casual's request to be converted to part-time or full-time employment may only be refused by the employer on reasonable grounds and after there has been consultation with the employee; • if the employer does refuse the request, it must provide the employee with written reasons within 21 days of the request being made; and • if the employee does not accept

the employer's decision, then the matter will be dealt with under the dispute resolution procedure in the relevant modern award.

THE REASONABLE GROUNDS FOR AN EMPLOYER TO REFUSE • it would require a significant adjustment to the casual employee's hours of work to accommodate them in part-time or full-time employment under the applicable modern award; • it is known or reasonably foreseeable that the casual employee's position will cease to exist; • it is known or reasonably foreseeable that the employee's hours will significantly change or be reduced within 12 months; or • on other reasonable grounds based on facts which are known or reasonably known.

INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS In the past the FWC has set out the criteria it will consider when determining whether a casual employee’s employment was on a regular and systematic basis. This is most likely to be the case when considering casual conversion.

The FWC will consider if: • The employee is offered work regularly — e.g. on average of three days a week; • The total hours worked are roughly similar to the total ordinary hours that would be expected of a full-time; • The work offered is on regular days and hours similar to that which would be offered to a permanent part-time employee; • There is some system or pattern to the employment the casual employee could expect to be offered work each week – there may be a roster that provided for work over a period of time albeit different days and hours for each week of the roster; • There is a clear pattern of work being offered with reasonable frequency and of the work being generally accepted; • The employer has a reasonable expectation that the casual employee would work when work was offered. The pattern of offer and acceptance could not be described as informal, irregular or occasional; • During the period of employment there was a reasonable expectation of ongoing employment having the same pattern as previous employment and this was the case up to the events that led to the ending of the employment relationship.

WHAT EMPLOYERS SHOULD DO We use a lot of casuals in the security industry – we need the

flexibility. Client demand changes rapidly and very often we only need our employees a few days per week.

Many of our casuals work security as a second job to supplement their primary income.

This decision will encourage some employers to seriously reconsider how they use casuals.

It is also worth remembering that when making decisions industrial tribunals and courts will give more weight to what actually happens in the employment relationship and not what the parties decide to call it.

If you use casuals as part of your business make sure: • There is a written common law contract that advises the employee that they are engaged as a casual and accepts the engagement as a casual; • It is clear that the employee is paid a 25% casual loading; • Identify the components of the loading as being in lieu of and compensation for all benefits such as leave, notice, redundancy and other full-time entitlements that do not apply to casual employees; • Casuals are directed to advise you weekly of their availability and assign work to them based on their availability;

• Casuals are not offered regular and systematic work over extended periods of time – vary hours and days to meet the operational needs of your business.

Entitlements/protections for Permanent Full Time and Part Time Employees under the Fair Work Act 2009 include: • Paid Annual leave • Paid Personal or Carer’s Leave • Access to Unfair dismissal remedies • Requests for flexible working arrangements The Fair Work Commission provided interested parties with an opportunity to provide further written submissions in relation to the proposed model casual conversion clause and minimum engagement period.
