Employment law in Australia is rapidly changing, with new updates to anti-discrimination measures and flexible working arrangements. The Fair Work Commission now requires employers to accommodate flexible work requests, strengthening workplace inclusivity.
Key Changes:
- Anti-Discrimination: Enhanced protections to ensure fair treatment.
- Flexible Work Requests: Employers must respond within 21 days, genuinely consider requests, and provide clear business grounds for any refusals.
Compliance is critical, as non-adherence may lead to legal action. At Melino Legal, we provide expert guidance to help businesses navigate these updates and maintain compliant, supportive workplaces.
