22.01.2022 The new Wage Theft Act 2020 (Vic) will commence on 1st July 2021 and will introduce sweeping changes to employment law that business owners and employers should be aware of. The new legislation has several objectives. Firstly, to make the theft or withholding of employee entitlements and/or the failure to keep adequate records, criminal offences. Secondly, to establish the Wage Inspectorate Victoria (WIV) which will oversee the Acts enforcement. There will be significant pen...alties imposed against employers who choose to underpay their staff, including jail time, as well as employers who withhold entitlements dishonestly. Ultimately, employees must be protected against being exploited in the workplace. #employmentlaw #wagetheft http://www.phsolicitor.com.au//wage-theft-act-2020-vic-mai

02.01.2022 Casual Employee Entitlements Court Decision Could be Overturned by New Laws. Not surprisingly, the government has said it will look to overturn yesterdays Federal court decision in Workpac v Rosato with legislation, as the decision could have far reaching affects on many businesses already struggling under COVID-19. The Federal Attorney General Christian Porter said he will consider specifying under new laws a right to convert casual employees into permanent staff after a se...t period of time, which could be after 12 months regular and systematic work. He described the decision as creating uncertainty in[to] the employment market at a time of seeking to regrow employment. This will provide much needed clarity on this issue for all employers. Separately, The Fair Work Commission said it was dealing with 70% more unfair dismissal claims now than compared to the same time last year. http://www.phsolicitor.com.au//casuals-court-decision-coul
