The Fair Work Amendment (Supporting Australia's Jobs and Economic Recovery) Act 2021 is operative from 27 March 2021. The legislation amends the National Employment Standards in the Fair Work Act 2009 (FW Act) to make important changes to casual employment laws and arrangements in Australia. Ai Group was heavily involved in the development of the reforms and we worked very hard to secure the passage of the legislation through Parliament. The reforms are intended to address uncertainties and cost risks for employers of up to $39 billion due to the decisions of the Federal Court of Australia in the WorkPac v Skene and WorkPac v Rossato cases.
