Closing Loopholes Bill

The Closing Loopholes No. 2 Bill proposes significant changes to the Fair Work Act 2009, including redefining the terms employee and employer, casual employment, and the right to convert to permanent employment. The bill also proposes minimum standards, dispute resolution, and independent contractor protections, along with a right of entry for suspected underpayments and increased maximum penalties for underpayments. It also introduces a new statutory right to disconnect outside of work hours. We’ve created a one-page summary to help business owners, leaders, and HR practitioners understand the proposed changes.
