The body charged with ensuring employer compliance with the new mandatory WorkChoices industrial relations regime, the Commonwealth Office of Workplace Services (OWS), has recently launched a national targeted education and compliance program focused on restaurants, cafés and food outlets. These businesses are currently being subjected to random audits by the OWS which assess their compliance with the newly amended Workplace Relations Act. Previous regional audits of restaurant and café establishments have revealed high rates of non-compliance with industrial instruments.
The potential penalties that can be imposed by the OWS for non-compliance by an employer can be as high as $33,000 per breach. This is in addition to and independent of any wages and conditions claims that employees may also concurrently lodge against you.
As an employer within the restaurant/café and food outlet industry, do you know whether your business is compliant with the new industrial relations laws?
> Do you know the difference between the Australian Fair Pay and Conditions Standard and the Protected Award conditions?
...
... > Do you know what award (if any) your employees are covered under?
> Do you know what the new WorkChoices record-keeping requirements are?
> Do you know that by utilising a tailored employment agreement your business will be able to significantly reduce its operating and administrative costs?
