Fair Work Checklist
In an effort to assist you in understanding how the introduction of the Fair Work Act has affected your business, we have developed a checklist for you. If there are any boxes where you tick No, perhaps you might be in breach of your workplace obligations and would benefit from some assistance.
| Yes | No | |
| 1. Are you aware of the modern awards (if any) which may cover and apply to your employees | ||
| 2. Are you aware of the National Employment Standards (NES) which commenced on 1 January 2010 | ||
| 3. Have you reviewed your current employment contracts and HR policies to ensure they do not undercut the NES? | ||
| 4. Are all new employees given a Fair Work Information Statement before commencing work? | ||
| 5. Are you aware of your obligations with respect to flexible working arrangements? | ||
| 6. Have you checked for recent changes to penalty rates and allowances based on your awards? | ||
