WorkChoices - Federal Industrial Relations Legislation (27 March 2006 - 30 June 2009)

"

WorkChoices was the Federal System of industrial relations which was introduced on 27 March 2006. Businesses classed as 'Trading/Constitutional Corporations' were automatically propelled into the Federal System of WorkChoices.

 

The sole determinant of the application of the Federal system of industrial relations (i.e. WorkChoices – now Fair Work Australia) to a business is the trading status of the organization so it is imperative that a determinant be made as to whether a business is regarded to be a trading/constitutional corporation or not. Advice about the trading status of your business can be provided by an accountant or solicitor.

 Our "Relations" Newsletters contain a series of briefings on numerous aspects of the Federal WorkChoices Legislation (which has been replaced by the Fair Work Act 2009 as from 1 July 2009 – refer article above) and these are available to our Clients via our ‘Newsletters’ page.
