Australia has robust employment laws to protect both employers and employees. Here are some key legal considerations:
Fair Work Act: This is the primary piece of legislation governing employment relationships.
National Employment Standards (NES): These are minimum employment conditions that apply to all employees.
Modern awards: Industry-specific awards outline minimum pay rates, conditions, and entitlements.
Superannuation: Employers must contribute to employees' superannuation funds.
Work Health and Safety: You have a duty of care to provide a safe and healthy workplace.
Anti-discrimination laws: Avoid discrimination based on age, sex, race, disability, sexual orientation, religion, or other protected attributes.
