Everything employers need to know, including chapters on D&I, tackling harassment, global mobility and post-Covid policies
The new 2022 edition of our annual Guide to Employment and Workplace Relations in Australia has been published, providing a comprehensive and practical overview of Australian employment regulation.
This updated Legal Guide is intended as a reference tool for in-house counsel, line managers and HR professionals to obtain quick answers to the most common employment issues. We hope you find it useful.
Highlights from this year's Legal Guide include:
- A summary of National Employment Standards and modern awards – particularly helpful in gaining an immediate understanding of the key tenets of Australian employment regulation
- Chapters on discrimination, sexual harassment, diversity and workplace rights – following much political and social discussion last year, addressing systemic barriers for success at work will be key
- Chapters on transfer of business, global mobility and engaging independent contractors - useful when dealing with cross border transactions and business mergers and acquisitions
- A summary on enterprise bargaining and responding to industrial action – helping you to achieve a strong industrial relations strategy
