Australia's new industrial relations system began operation on 1 July 2009 with the commencement of the Fair Work Act.
This new law replaces 'WorkChoices' and establishes new legal obligations which you and your business must now meet.
As a small business employer, it is imperative that you understand the impact of these new obligations on your business as fines and other penalties may be imposed by the new industrial relations regulator, Fair Work Australia, if you do not follow the rules carefully.
Fair Work for Small Business is the one-stop shop for information for small business.
