Fair Work educational visits for CBD employers

Tuesday, 09 October, 2012

The Fair Work Ombudsman will make educational visits to businesses in Sydney’s CBD over the next two weeks.

Fair Work inspectors will be providing information packs to employers previously covered by the NSW industrial relations system but who are now under the national workplace relations system.

Fair Work Ombudsman Nicholas Wilson said the informal visits will assist employers to understand national workplace laws, including the National Employment Standards and Modern Awards.

“Information packs being distributed include helpful resources such as fact sheets, templates and best practice guides - providing advice on practical steps employers can take to adjust to the federal system,” Wilson said.

“We are very serious about our job of building knowledge and creating fairer workplaces and we are strongly focused on ensuring the community understands its workplace rights and obligations.

“The best workplace relations advice I can give to business operators is to get the basics right and everything else should start to fall into place.

“By the basics, I mean knowing what award applies to your employees, the correct classifications and pay rates.”

Workers or employers seeking support should get in touch with the Fair Work Ombudsman via the website or call the Fair Work Infoline on 13 13 94.
