20.01.2022 Electrical licensing fees update from Building & Energy Weve recently received an update from Building and Energy clarifying some issues around the waiver of electrical licensing fees: From 1 July 2020 until 31 March 2021, you must pay the normal fee when you renew your licence. B&E will then refund you a years worth of your licence. For example, if your licence renewal is for one year, you will get a 100% refund. If it is for 3 years, you will get a 33% refund.... Unfortunately, the refunds will not be paid until the regulations that govern the licence fees are changed. As B&E are unable to tell us when this regulation change will take place, we cant provide you with a date for when you will receive your refunds. B&E initially stated that people who paid their renewals after 1 April were going to be refunded by 30 June however, as the regulations havent been changed as yet, that will no longer be the case. For anyone who paid their renewal during the brief period that B&E did not charge a renewal fee, lucky you! You are in the clear for the next year.

16.01.2022 High Court Ruling on Mondelez Case: Personal Leave Accrual Calculation The recent High Court decision has overturned the Full Federal Court decision that the 10 days of personal/carers leave per year in the National Employment Standards must reflect an employees ordinary hours of work.
