Workplace Observer – Issue 4
In this issue, we examine the Fair Work Commission’s significant Full Bench decision to vary all modern awards following the Full Court’s ruling on workplace delegates’ rights, and what the corrected award terms mean for employers managing delegate representation, communication and training entitlements. We also explore recent Federal Court enforcement action highlighting the limits of union right of entry, including practical guidance for site occupiers on managing entry requests lawfully and safely. Finally, we consider proposed federal reforms that would introduce a minimum right to request to work from home, and how these potential changes could reshape employer obligations in responding to flexible work requests.
