New IR Laws for HR Manager

Sham contracting is widespread in many industries and occurs when an employer tries to pass off an employment relationship as an independent contracting relationship. Under Fair Work Act 2009, such arrangements are illegal. In July 2013, a record fine of $238,920 was handed down to a Newcastle based transport company for displaying wilful blindness to workplace laws through widespread use of Sham arrangements.
