Assistance with Award and EBA Compliance

With the increase in Award rates effective from 1 July 2024, it is an opportune time to review your employee agreements, individual flexibility agreements, and enterprise agreements. The Workplace Relations and Legal Team can help ensure your agreements provide the correct level of entitlements for your employees and comply with the relevant industrial instruments.

Failure to pay wages and entitlements in accordance with the applicable Award or enterprise agreement can result in significant penalties for employers and other responsible parties. These penalties can be both financially burdensome and time-consuming due to the complexity of Awards and other relevant legislation. Reports indicate that many underpayment claims arise from:

• inadequate employee agreements
• misclassification of employees under the incorrect Award
• failure to pay employees according to the applicable Award or agreement.
