NECA response to Post Coronavirus IR Review
The Federal Government's JobMaker plan is a targeted package to get workers back in jobs.
Part of this plan is to explore reforms to Australia’s industrial relations system.
Five Industrial Relations Working Groups have been set up and tasked with finding ways to urgently regrow jobs lost as a result of COVID-19.
The National Electrical and Communications Association (NECA) has made a formal submission to the working groups convened by the Attorney-General and Minister for Industrial Relations, the Hon. Christian Porter MP.
The submissions address matters concerning:
- Casuals and fixed term employees
- Award simplification (covering Awards in industry sectors heavily impacted by COVID-19)
- Enterprise agreement making
- Compliance and enforcement
- Greenfields agreements for new enterprises.
You can review all NECA submissions online at www.neca.asn.au
