The Fair Work website IS your friend

The Fair Work Ombudsman can sound scary to some businesses because they regulate legislation. As a leader or business owner, have you looked at their website? Have you taken the time to search key topics you might need to know about? Please let me fill you in on a little secret, the Fair Work Ombudsman is not that scary and the website can actually be helpful.

 As a HR Specialist, I’m pretty savvy with employee relations and Fair Work compliance; however, there’s always more to learn and to keep up to date with as pieces of legislation and Modern Awards are constantly changing. I’m never shy to check the Fair Work website because it is relevant and up to date.

It can be especially beneficial to small-medium enterprises (SME’s) as it provides free advice, tools and even webinars on topics you may need to know about.

For any employee matters you’re still not 100% on, it’s recommended you discuss this with a HR professional.
