Late last week, the federal government announced that it has made some important changes to the Small Business Fair Dismissal Code Checklist.
And yes, these changes will affect you.
Why? Because from now on, before you dismiss an employee, you will need to follow the new version of the checklist to make sure you haven’t dismissed them unfairly.
Dear Reader,
Last Wednesday, Fair Work Australia’s minimum wage panel passed its first ever decision.
They chose to increase modern award minimum weekly wage rates by $26 – that’s up an extra 69c an hour.
And you haven’t got long to adjust either…
The new minimum wage rates take effect from the first pay period on or after 1 July 2010 – that’s less than a month away!
In last Thursday’s Bulletin I went over the things you can never discriminate against an employee for.
But you need to be sure that you never discriminate against anyone in your workplace in any way.
So I thought today would be good chance to recap exactly what is meant by discrimination.
