Plain-language summary
Written by a model from the explanatory memorandum; not the record, as at 2015-12-03.
The bill would change the Fair Work Act 2009 to put into action parts of the Coalition's policy on improving workplace laws.
It would require that annual leave not taken when a job ends be paid out according to the relevant award or agreement, and that workers' compensation absences stop leave accrual.
The bill would also let the Fair Work Commission decide unfair dismissal applications without holding a hearing in some cases.
- The bill would make individual flexibility arrangements in awards and agreements terminable by one side with 13 weeks' notice.
- It would remove a requirement for employers to arrange transport and accommodation for union officials at remote work sites.
- The bill would stop a transfer of business occurring when an employee moves to an associated entity on their own initiative before leaving the old job.
Employers, employees, union officials, and the Fair Work Commission are affected.
