Effective from - 15 December 2023
The Fair Work Legislation Amendment (Closing Loopholes) Act 2023 brings important changes to labour hire arrangements. Now, employees, unions, and host employers can apply to the Fair Work Commission for fair compensation orders, aligning labour hire wages with host enterprise agreements.
These amendments aim to promote fairness in labour hire compensation!
Key Changes:
- Labour hire workers may now receive wages equivalent to those outlined in the host company's enterprise agreement.
- Commission orders require host agreement applicability and fairness assessments.
- Exemptions apply for training arrangements and small business hosts (fewer than 15 employees).
Implications and Transition:
- Labour hire employers must comply with orders and can request host information for accurate pay calculations.
- Hosts must notify tender participants of compliance requirements.
- Transition period until 1 November 2024 allows adjustment.
