IT'S now illegal to advertise a position with below award or agreement rates of pay, after the recent passing of the Fair Work Legislation Amendment (Secure Jobs, Better Pay) Bill 2022 in Federal Parliament.
Professional Pharmacists Australia noted the provisions, which mean an employer can be fined and action can be brought by a union or Fair Work Ombudsman.
The provisions aim to reduce worker exploitation, promote a culture of compliance with workplace laws, and encourage employers to consider their obligations before hiring staff.
The union group will brief members on an overview of the major changes that are likely to impact them in a webinar on 19 Dec from 12.30pm AEDST - REGISTER HERE.
