25.01.2022 CASE STUDY: A woman employed by Coles Supermarket chain fell to the ground when dismounting sideways via the halfway step to her right. Coles argued that the employer had included the information in its induction material that employees were to step down backwards from the step and not forwards or sideways. The justices accepted the evidence that because of the volume of material given to new employees at induction, it was understandable that the woman, and others, ha...d no recollection of being informed of the safe use of the step. SAVVY SUGGESTS: Employee induction is no longer a ‘one-time thing’, it is important for employers and HR advisers to constantly maintain and reinforce a safe system of work and adequate information instruction and training. Call Business Savvy today on 0498 222 202 to schedule your next induction. #businesssavvy #coles #foreseeablerisk #danger #workplace #induction #riskmanagement
18.01.2022 Happy International Working Parents day! On June 2015, Virgin Australia's CEO Richard Branson announced his company would offer a full year of paid leave for any employee who'd been with the company for at least four years. Here are some ways employers can do to support working parents: ... 1 Be flexible - whether through remote or flexible work arrangements, job sharing, staggered hours or otherwise. 2 Dependent care assistance - not only do these kind of benefits inspire loyalty, but they are a great perk to mention when you are trying to hire talent. 3 Create affinity groups - great way for employees to share information and to connect more closely with others within the firm. #workingparents #supportyourstaff #businesssavvy #yourhrwhsservices
11.01.2022 Have you started your Christmas party planning yet? Festival season functions are great for team building and rewarding staff. However, when staff let their hair down in the spirit of the season - especially when alcohol is added to the mix - anything can happen... Clear policies: It is important to have clear policies and procedures governing the conduct, behaviour and expectations of employees at Christmas functions, to enable the employer to take disciplinary action against non-complying employees in appropriate cases.
09.01.2022 GOOD NEWS FOR EMPLOYERS EMPLOYING CASUALS DID YOU KNOW? The Federal Government has introduced the Fair Work Amendment (Casual Loading Offset) Regulations 2018 in response to the recent Workpac v Skene (2018) decision.... The Casual Loading Offset Regulation provides that an employer can make a claim to have the casual loading payments made to the employee taken into account when working out the entitlements owing to the employee for the relevant National Employment Standards (NES) entitlements. This can occur where the following criteria are successfully met: 1. The employee is employed on a casual basis; 2. The employee is paid a casual loading which is ‘clearly identifiable as an amount paid to compensate the person for not having one or more relevant NES entitlements’ (for example, annual leave or personal leave); 3. Despite being classified by the employer as a causal, the employee was in reality a full-time or part-time employee for some or all of their employment for the purposes of the NES; 4. The person makes a claim to be paid for one or more of the relevant NES entitlements that they didn't receive for all or some of the time they were incorrectly classified as a casual. FINAL WORD This regulation came into effect on 18 December 2018. However, it applies to all employment periods including those that occurred wholly or partly before the date. Should you be unsure of circumstances regarding an employee's employment status, please email us on [email protected] to learn more about employing causals.
