Fair Work Commission could allow agreements which make some workers worse off
The Fair Work Commission (FWC) will be allowed to disregard the “better off overall test” when considering enterprise agreements for businesses hit by COVID-19.
Key points:
- The proposed changes will help save jobs, the Federal Government says
- The Fair Work Commission won’t have to make sure employees are “better off overall” under new laws
- A two-year time limit will apply for such agreements
Industrial Relations Minister Christian Porter will unveil legislation on Wednesday designed to overhaul the nation’s workplace laws in a bid to stem job losses and grow employment during the pandemic-induced recession.
Mr Porter argues the “broken” enterprise bargaining system has been “slowly choked by increased technicality, complexity and regulation”.
