How much is enough? We are often asked this question by our clients and the answer can be frustrating. "It depends" on a number of different factors and recent cases indicate that economic conditions are factoring in in a bigger way. This article explains why notice periods (and pay in lieu of notice amounts) are increasing in some short term employment cases. https://lnkd.in/ghAA-62t #humanresources #termination #employmentlaw

There is no specific requirement for employers to provide employees with transport home. Nevertheless, an employer has a duty of care to their employees, which means that they should take all steps which are reasonably possible to ensure their health, safety and wellbeing. #EmployeeExpenses #TaxiClaims

Goal reached 🏆 Avenue participants are not employed. Each work team typically earns a small revenue stream from their work activities. This revenue is pooled and split evenly among all participants in a profit share model. Participants are not employed or paid an hourly rate. The remuneration is a stipend amount that recognises a participant’s contribution and productivity. Each participant selects a remuneration goal to work towards. Their remuneration is theirs to spend as they like. Each goal reached or purchase made is celebrated within the coworking space to acknowledge the work the person has put in to achieve their goal. See the video below of Michael achieving his renumeration goal! https://lnkd.in/gKiStKtD

The Federal Government has received an early Christmas present in managing to pass various workplace law reforms late last week. 🎄 ⚖️ 🎅 📑   In effect, the much-debated Fair Work (Closing the Loopholes) Bill has been split into two; with many of the more controversial proposed changes around a new definition of ‘casual employees’ as well as provisions directed to the rights of ‘gig economy’ workers and the distinction between the ‘Employee vs Contractor' relationship being deferred for further debate in early 2024.   However, certain amendments did successfully pass both Houses of Parliament including those that see changes to the Commonwealth Workers’ Compensation Scheme (with presumptive provisions around mental health related claims), the introduction of Industrial Manslaughter as an offence under the Work Health and Safety Act (Cth), further protections against Discrimination or Adverse Action against victims of family & domestic violence, additional prohibitions with respect to ‘Wage Theft’ and the ability for the Fair Work Commission to make (Same Job, Same Pay) orders in relation to ‘Labour Hire’ employers.   Evidently, there is a lot of change in the Australian employment and safety landscape with these as well as associated recent and anticipated future amendments. As there are varied applicable commencement dates – including some occurring imminently – it is important that employers stay vigilant and across these reforms (as relevant to their organisation) to ensure they remain compliant.   The Sparke Helmore Lawyers National Workplace Team will be providing further details and insights on these developments in due course but please reach out in the meantime if any questions.   #fairworkcommission #fairwork #lawreform #auslaw #safetyprofessionals #hrprofessionals

It's been a very tough start to the year for those in safety, particularly the men and women who work in and around Cranes. My thoughts and prayers are with all the families and friends who have lost someone on the job. #safetyfirst #arrowtransportation #arrowmarineservices #bccsa #wsbc #NationalDayOfMourning - #ConstructionSafety - #WorkplaceSafety - #WorkersMemorialDay - #ConstructionIndustry - #SafetyMatters - #RememberingTheFallen - #HonoringTheFallen - #ConstructionRespect #Canada. #DayOfMourning2024
