In February 2024, the Australia Parliament passed the second stage of the Government’s ‘Closing Loopholes’ employment law reforms, bringing with it a raft of further complex changes to the Fair Work Act 2009.

Some of these changes have already commenced operation, whilst other changes will come into effect later in 2024 and early in 2025.

Given the significant impact of the ‘Closing Loopholes’ reforms and the potential penalties imposed for non-compliance, it is essential that employers take steps to understand these changes and how the changes will impact their business.

In this free webcast, Matthews Folbigg Lawyers’ Peter Doughman will canvass the primary changes arising from the ‘Closing Loopholes’ reforms, including:

  • The new employee ‘right to disconnect’;
  • Changes to the concept and definition of casual employment;
  • Changes to the definitions and tests for employees and independent contractors;
  • New protections for labour hire workers including ‘same job, same pay’ orders;
  • New rights and protections for independent contractors, including new minimum standards for ‘employment-like’ workers; and
  • New criminal penalties for wage theft.
