Seminars on workplace relations law for NFPs

Not-for-Profit Network is holding a series of seminars in May on 'Understanding the Fair Work Act: Simplifying the new Workplace Laws for NFPs'.
The new workplace relations law will commence from 1 July 2009, and will have an immediate impact on an employer's legal relationship with their employees. The seminars will be tailored to the NFP sector, and the issues covered will include:
  • Expanded unfair dismissal application
  • Minimum employment standards
  • New 'modern' awards
  • Alterations to workplace agreements and bargaining
  • New transfer of business provision (including outsourcing/insourcing)
  • New 'general' employee protections
  • Increased union right of entry to workplaces
  • Transitional provisions (treatment of current agreements in the new system)
  • New tests and the new Workplace Authority.
The seminars will be held in CBD locations in Sydney on 4 May, Brisbane on 8 May, Melbourne on 12 May, Adelaide on 13 May, and Perth on 19 May.
