Secure Jobs, Better Pay: 6 June 2023 - key changes for employers on this date
The passing of the Fair Work Legislation Amendment (Secure Jobs, Better Pay) Act 2022 (Cth) has resulted in several significant changes to the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth). With some of these changes already in force, employers must now turn their minds to 6 June 2023 – the date of which the next wave of amendments will take effect.
As we know, the passing of the Fair Work Legislation Amendment (Secure Jobs, Better Pay) Act 2022 (Cth) has resulted in several significant changes to the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth).
With some of these changes already in force, employers must now turn their minds to 6 June 2023 – the date of which the next wave of amendments will take effect.
In this webinar, our Managing Director and Principal, Athena Koelmeyer will be addressing these upcoming amendments and what they mean for employers in relation to:
enterprise agreement making;
the enterprise agreement approval process, including the revised “Better Off Overall Test”; and
the Fair Work Commission’s new power to deal with disputes in relation to flexible working arrangements and unpaid parental leave requests
This is a must-attend webinar for business owners and those responsible for human resources and industrial relations functions to ensure that they are ready for these amendments.
This webinar will begin at 11am (AEST) on Tuesday, 6 June 2023.

An employee will only be eligible to request a flexible working arrangement if they are able to demonstrate that there is a sufficient nexus between one of the prescribed circumstances under the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) and the request itself.
One of the National Employment Standards in the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) is the right to request a flexible working arrangement in certain circumstances. In or about mid-2023, the FW Act was amended to give the Fair Work Commission power to conciliate and arbitrate disputes about such requests.
The Federal Government introduced several employment law changes last year, with varying commencement dates. Employers should be particularly mindful of the changes which commenced from December 2023 and the impacts they will have on the workplace as we settle into the new year.
Many employees are excited about upcoming Christmas parties and end of year functions. However, increasingly complex employment laws and the rise in work-related complaints are causing employers to carefully think about hosting such events.
In the wake of challenging economic circumstances and increasing episodes of poor employee behaviour, employers may be required to make difficult, but necessary, decisions in relation to its workforce.
