Business Updates

National Employment Standards and Modern Awards

Members should prepare for the commencement of the National Employment Standards and Modern Awards from 01 January 2010.

The National Employment Standards (NES) will provide minimum employment conditions for all employees in the Federal workplace relations system.  From 1 January 2010, affected employees will be all employees in the ACT, and all private-sector employees in New South Wales and most other states.

Modern Awards will generally replace transitional awards and NAPSAs from 01 January 2010.  However, employees covered by an approved Workplace Agreement will continue to be covered by that Agreement and a Modern Award will not apply to them.

Workplace Relations members of the Chamber can get further information by ringing the Chamber's WR Hotline on (02) 6283 5283.
