Dear Reader,
Well, another year is almost over. And whatever 2009 brought for you and your business, there’s no denying it was a HUGE year for workplace relations.
When the Fair Work Act came in last July, the sheer volume of changes it introduced were enough to make anyone’s head spin. Mine certainly did! And it’s not long now before the rest of the legislation comes in on 1 January 2010…
So before that happens, I thought it would be a good idea to reflect on all the changes that were made throughout 2009…
2009 in Review
