Board Briefing Labour & Employment – Australia H1 2024

This briefing aims to provide boards with a strategic steer on key present and impending legal changes this half in Australia.

It also includes useful data for legal and HR teams to ensure they are taking action or preparing for change.

This edition of our Board Briefing covers:

• Fair Work Commission surveys employers on flexible working arrangement requests – soon to be an award entitlement?
• Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGEA) publishes median gender pay gap analysis
• Multiemployer bargaining laws put to the test
• Parliamentary inquiry into artificial intelligence in the workplace
• The move to get rid of noncompete clauses (similar to the US)
• Labour hire – same job same pay update

Please note, this document does not cover all legislative changes, just those we view to be of relevance at board level.
