General Employment Contract

From 1 January 2010 there have been several important changes to Australia’s workplace laws that affected all employers and employees in the national workplace relations system. The changes included the introduction of new National Employment Standards (NES), and the commencement of 'modern awards'.

All employment contracts must now cover the National Employment Standards and the only time you can change the nature of an agreement is when you can demonstrate that the employee is actually better off as a result.
