25.01.2022 Is the real unemployment rate a staggering 9.6 per cent? The unemployment rate has been kept artificially low, because loads of people who aren't working (possibly caring for home schooled children or simply too deflated to look for a job in this pandemic) are still counted as employed.

15.01.2022 No sick pay during coronavirus pandemic Qantas is now free of the legal obligation to pay staff sick pay, while they are stood down during this period. It’s a pretty shameful state of affairs when long time employees with chronic illnesses lose these type of standard benefits. But the flip side is that many employers need to put their funds elsewhere - not to sick leave for staff who are in effect already absent from work.... It’s worth speaking to your employer to see how this affects you if you are currently being stood down. For more information, details in the article below https://apple.news/Ap_X62vQ5TkONV14NvBGJtA

10.01.2022 Will you go back to the office after COVID-19? The COVID-19 pandemic has shifted the employment landscape - for both employers and employees. At some point when this pandemic comes to an end, how will it look for all those that have been forced to work from home? Studies have shown that because of the pandemic many may find themselves permanently working from home at least for some of the time. According to a new survey from research firm Gartner, 74 percent of CFOs and b...usiness finance leaders surveyed expect at least 5 percent of their workforce who previously worked in offices will become permanent work-from-home employees after the pandemic ends. A big reason for this is because it presents a new way to manage costs. Businesses now have an opportunity to realise the cost benefits of a remote workforce such as a reduction in on-premises technology spend and a reduction in real estate expenses. Businesses looking for costs savings will no doubt be met with delight by many employees that were demanding for flexibility even before the pandemic hit. Now all those employees that wanted to work from home at least some of the time, will more than likely be given that opportunity.

07.01.2022 Risks of the JobKeeper scheme will you land up on government benefits once there is no longer funding? The government’s JobKeeper lifeline during the coronavirus crisis is creating zombie businesses.
