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?    
 7. Are you familiar with the necessary notice periods when terminating an employee based on award requirements?    
 8. Do you know how much your employees would be entitled to should they be made redundant?    
 9. Do you know how to protect yourself so you are not subject to an unfair dismissal claim?    
 10. Do you keep detailed time and wage records for all your employees    
 11. Do you provide pay slips to all your employees and are you sure they contain all required info?    
 12. Do you maintain accurate records for employee leave entitlements?
