Changes to Employment Laws

You will (hopefully!) be aware of a range of changes to employment laws that have recently been introduced. Whilst many of these were effective in December 2022 (for example, changes to domestic and family violence leave, the abolition of pay secrecy clauses in new employment contracts and changes to sexual harassment laws), there are a number of additional changes coming into force between now and December this year.

If you’re not yet across these, and what you need to do, now is a great time to start getting things in place to ensure your business is compliant.

The upcoming changes include:

• Changes to how employers need to respond to requests for flexible working arrangements – see here for more details: https://www.fairwork.gov.au/ employment-conditions/flexibilityin-the-workplace/flexible-workingarrangements

• Changes to annual shutdowns (e.g. over Christmas / New Year) within most Modern Awards - see here for more details: https://hrsuccess.com.au/changesto-award-shutdown-provisions/

• Prohibitions on the use of fixed term contracts which exceed 2 years for the same role, except in limited situations. For more information, visit: https://www.dewr.gov.au/ download/14736/limiting-use-fixedterm-contracts/31382/limiting-usefixed-term-contracts/pdf
