Create Your Essential Compliance Checklist
21:30
 

Hello and welcome to Episode 167 of the People Powered Business Podcast.

Today I’m covering off the key compliance changes that every business needs to be across right now – given the absolute avalanche of changes that we are seeing, it feels ‘unprecedented’.

Starting with the introduction of the ‘Secure Jobs Better Pay Act’ which as the name suggests, is designed to make jobs more secure for workers, and put upwards pressure on wages across the board.

The changes here include pay secrecy clauses becoming banned in employment contracts, significant changes to the enterprise bargaining landscape, including the massive expansion of multi enterprise bargaining. Through to the broadening of flexible work requests and limitations on denying them and the new l imitations on fixed term contracts coming into place by December.

Then we cover the changes to and introduction of Family and Domestic Violence Leave.

And finally the Respect@Work Act which sees a ‘Positive Duty’ places on employers to to eliminate sexual harassment and sex based discrimination in workplaces and an expansion of the capacity to make Sexual Harassment complaints as well as new protected attributes under discrimination law.

There is a lot to get your head around, so getting you compliance checklist under control is a must for all employers.
