Public Interest Law Clearing House (PILCH) Event

The Fair Work Act 2009 commenced operation on 1 July 2009, with additional provisions, including those relating to Modern Awards and the National Employment Standards ('NES'), commencing on 1 January 2010. Employers (including not-for-profit employers) must now ensure that existing contracts, policies and procedures are updated to reflect the obligations under the NES and any applicable Modern Awards. In addition to the creation of Modern Awards and the NES, the Fair Work Act also introduced changes to the unfair dismissal regime. Many more employers must now comply with unfair dismissal obligations before terminating a person's employment. Find out how your not-for-profit community organisation can make sure it complies with these laws.
