The following was received from JobWatch:
JobWatch Inc is a non-profit, employment rights, community legal centre with 28 years experience in employment law and workplace relations.
JobWatch has been selected by the Federal Government to deliver free education and information services to the Victorian public about recent changes to workplace laws, following the introduction of the Fair Work Act 2009, from 1 July 2009.
In addition to providing workshops throughout greater Melbourne, JobWatch will be travelling throughout regional Victoria, and can provide free workshops at a time and location to suit your organisation.
Changes to workplace laws are extensive, and relevant to the rights and responsibilities of all employees and employers. The workshops provide an overview of the Fair Work Act 2009, with an emphasis on:
- New Unfair Dismissal & Redundancy laws
- General Protections (completely new rules prohibiting Adverse Action against employees – protection of extensive, broad-ranging, workplace rights)
- New Minimum terms and conditions of employment (NES from 1st January 2010)
- Compliance with the new laws (including rights and responsibilities of employees and employers
- The role of Fair Work Australia and the Fair Work Ombudsman
- Other aspects of the changes at your request (eg: Collective Bargaining)
The workshops are interactive and are delivered by qualified, practising JobWatch lawyers with significant experience and expertise in employment law and workplace relations. Workshops run for about 1 hour.
The presenting lawyers have a special understanding of how to communicate often complex legal issues simply and effectively, making the information accessible and interesting to any audience.
Real case studies are used to illustrate the application of the new workplace laws so that participants can gain a genuine understanding of how the new laws apply to them.
