And they're using a famous statement from one of Pope Leo's predecessors – Leo XIII – way back in 1891. Professor Tom Barnes is an economist with the Australian Catholic University.

Keeping up with legal updates can be overwhelming and confusing. If you're like most of my clients, you've probably felt unsure about where to source reliable information. With the huge amount of content floating around online, it's easy to get lost in what's accurate and applicable to you. So, today I'm guiding you through some critical legal changes you need to be aware of as a service-based small business owner. Wage ComplianceOne topic gaining significant attention is wage compliance. As of 1st January, intentionally underpaying employees is now a criminal offence. If you're uncertain about your compliance, I strongly encourage you to consult the Fair Work website, particularly the Voluntary Small Business Wage Compliance Code. Making sure you're on the right side of this law is crucial so engage your accountant or legal team to ensure you're meeting all necessary standards.Understanding Privacy Law OverhaulsThe privacy legislation is outdated and the current exemptions for small businesses are going to be removed, which means privacy compliance is not an option - it's a necessity. You need to have a compliant privacy policy accessible on the home page of your website, showcasing transparency with your clients about how you handle their data. Particularly in this climate where more and more people are doing things online, being crystal clear on your compliance with the way you manage personal data is essential. The Right to DisconnectDon't worry - you're not going to jail if one of your employees gets an email from a client out of business hours. But make sure that you start discussions with your team now to establish clear after-hours communication policies. Understanding what's reasonable in your specific context is crucial to ensuring compliance.Industry Specific - Tax and BAS agentsFor tax and BAS agents, new mandates from 1st July will require stricter adherence to record-keeping and quality management standards. Ensure your documents, disclosures, and client agreements reflect these changes. There is a lot of information here, so if you're overwhelmed by everything you need to go through, my advice is to make a list and start from the top. Industry Specific - Interior DesignersFor those in construction or interior design, pay attention to the ban on importing certain engineered stone products like benchtops, panels and slabs. You have a positive obligation now to know what's banned and what's not. Make sure you keep this front of mind when making selections with your clients.Unfair Contract TermsIt's absolutely vital that your client service agreements do not include any unfair contract terms, particularly when it comes to your termination clause. If there are any unfair terms, your entire contract will be considered null and void and you'll have absolutely nothing to stand on.With everything when it comes to business law, staying compliant involves constant vigilance and surrounding yourself with the right professionals. If you're unsure about any changes to the law, feel free to reach out. I'd love to help.LINKS:Sign up for my fortnightly Briefing Notes hereDiscover the Masterclass Series hereCheck Your Legals with the Essential Legal Checklist hereBook a Free 20-minute Initial Consult with me hereJoin me on Instagram here

Small Biz Matters: People, Policy, Purpose ~ Episode #253      Broadcast date: 10 Dec 2024 Host: Alexi Boyd, Small Business Advocate & Policy Advisor Guests: Anna Booth, Fair Work Ombudsman It's been a big year for Small Biz Matters: People, Policy, Purpose and we're finishing it off with a bang! This week we welcome Anna Booth, Australia's Fair Work Ombudsman to discuss the changes to industrial relations legislation and what it means for small businesses now and into the future. And importantly, what does it mean for the Fair Work Ombudsman agency itself? Industrial relations and the Fair Work Act have always been a minefield for small businesses but the recent changes are really overwhelming and many have said they will avoid employing anyone as a result. The Respect @ Work legislation, changes to Fair Work Act with Same Job Same Pay (tranche one and tranche two), the Right to Disconnect laws, the introduction of Family and Domestic Violence Leave, Psychosocial hazards and positive duty guidelines... it's not a far-fetched assumption to say it's a little bit confusing at times and downright out of scope for most. There's a lot of speculation in the media (both political and practical) about the impact on small business owners navigating this complex web. Will it mean more owners will shift back to under-the-counter cash in hand wages? With more complexity, will we see more workers vulnerable as small business owners struggle to navigate changes or, is this all a smokescreen and they're handling it just fine. Well, the Fair Work Ombudsman's team is on the front line of these questions from both employers and employees and there to assist both with navigating the complexities. Plus, they've made some pretty snazzy changes to their website in order to make it easier. In the final episode of People Policy Purpose it's a big show, so let's get straight into hearing from this week's expert guest, the Fair Work Ombudsman Anna Booth. PEOPLE – How would you like to see small businesses become more activated in regards to workplace relations? What sort of education and outreach programs do you currently have to engage with that audience? Where have you noticed small businesses have been engaging to find info on Fair Work? POLICY -  industrial relations legislation is complex. How does the fair work ombudsman take such complex legislation and translated into procedures that small businesses can follow? What would be your recommendations to small businesses listening as a good place to start? Who are the best advisors to work with, if a typical small business owner can't afford an HR lawyer on their team? COSBOA launched the PEAK resource for small businesses to navigate IR changes. How does your office interact with support services like this, offered by other agencies? PURPOSE - can you describe the role of the Fair Work Ombudsman? Is it independent and how do you keep your work at arm's length from policy makers? Do you influence their decisions and guide on best practice when it comes to considering the small business community in their deliberations? Anna Booth was appointed to the position of Fair Work Ombudsman for a 5 year term from 1 September 2023. Under the Fair Work Act 2009, Anna is responsible for promoting harmonious, productive, cooperative and compliant workplace relations. She has extensive and diverse experience in industrial relations spanning more than 45 years, working with unions, private, and public sectors. Anna was most recently Director of CoSolve Pty Ltd. She returned to CoSolve in 2020 after serving as a Deputy President of the Fair Work Commission for 8 years. Before her appointment to the Fair Work Commission, Anna combined her CoSolve directorship with non-executive directorships of ME Bank and IFM and was the non-executive chair of Slater & Gordon Ltd. Anna spent much of her early career in the union movement. She was the National Secretary of the Textile, Clothing and Footwear Union of Australia and a Vice President of the Australian Council of Trade Unions. Anna has also been Vice President Corporate Affairs at Sydney Harbour Casino and a lecturer at the Macquarie Graduate School of Management and the Australian Institute of Management. She has served on the boards of Commonwealth Bank of Australia, the Sydney Organising Committee for the Olympic Games and NRMA Ltd. Anna is an accredited mediator under the National Mediator Accreditation System. She holds a Bachelor of Economics (Hons) from the University of Sydney and is the patron of the Industrial Relations Society of NSW. The Fair Work Ombudsman's purpose is to promote harmonious, productive, cooperative and compliant workplace relations in Australia. Their functions are to outline the responsibilities set by the Fair Work Act 2009 to achieve this purpose: provide education, assistance, advice and guidance to employers, employees, regulated workers, regulated businesses, persons in a road transport contractual chain, outworkers, outworker entities and organisations promote and monitor compliance with workplace laws inquire into and investigate breaches of the Fair Work Act take appropriate enforcement action perform our statutory functions efficiently, effectively, economically and ethically.

Is It Really a Redundancy?

Hello, and welcome to Episode 244 of the People Powered Business Podcast!Can you believe it's already November? The year is flying by, and here we are with another important topic for business owners just like you.In today's episode, we're diving into an area that's critical but often misunderstood: redundancies.Recently, I've been hearing about a surge in redundancies, especially in business groups, networks, and conversations with peers. But the big question is – are all of these redundancies legitimate, or are they sometimes being used as a workaround for performance issues that should have been managed differently? In this episode we explore why it's so essential to get this right and discuss the real reasons for this trend.Inside our People Powered HR community, each month we focus on a specific theme from The P.E.O.P.L.E Pathway. October's focus was on ‘Exit' – a challenging but necessary part of business and people management.The reality is that people will exit our business, whether we choose to exit them or they resign. If we need to exit someone from our business, a redundancy may well be a valid way to do this, but we need to understand when and how they should be used. So today, I'll share three key insights to help you navigate redundancy in a way that's both compliant and compassionate.In This Episode: What is a Redundancy and When is it Genuine?Redundancy is not as simple as many think. According to the Fair Work guidelines, redundancy is genuine when an employer no longer needs a role to be performed by anyone – not just one person – due to reasons like new technology, restructuring, or closing of operations. But here's the critical part: redundancy cannot be used as a substitute for poor performance management. Following the correct consultation process, especially if employees are covered under awards, is a requirement to avoid the risk of unfair dismissal claims.The Difference Between Redundancy and Performance ManagementI've observed that some employers, especially during slower business periods, may attempt to label dismissals as redundancies. Often, this is because performance issues were allowed to continue unchecked, making redundancy seem like a convenient solution. However, if not managed properly, this can lead to costly repercussions, including redundancy pay in small businesses or even an unfair dismissal claim. It's essential to distinguish between a genuine redundancy and cases where performance management should be applied.Top Tips for Exiting a Staff Member with Integrity and CareExits are never easy, but there are ways to make the process smoother for all involved. First, get comfortable having difficult conversations, and address performance concerns early. Use the probationary period to its fullest extent, keeping minimum employment standards in mind. Practise compassion and approach every exit with honesty and facts, avoiding emotional responses. And finally, don't be afraid to get help – navigating exits properly can protect your business and uphold dignity for all parties.As always, I'd love you to join us inside our free Facebook Group, HR Support for Australian Businesses, so I can learn more about what's working for you and any challenges you might be having.

Small business pay practices have become a target for Fair Work and big fines await those with compliance shortfalls, says KeyPay co-founder and head of product Phil Bernie. Speaking on this week's Accountants Daily podcast, Mr Bernie said millions in underpayment by big companies captured headlines but Fair Work was putting small business pay records under the microscope too. “There's a trend particularly in agriculture where Fair Work are coming in and doing audits and reviewing farmers,” Mr Bernie said. “Pay accuracy is one thing they're big on, but we saw the other day $20,000 fines being issued for record keeping. “You don't have to be employing 2,000 or 3,000 people to be on the radar for Fair Work. They are going out and targeting specific industries and you could just be employing 20 or 30 people and all it takes is for one person to query a pay slip or to raise a query with Fair Work and you could be on the radar.”

Momentum is building across the country and across industries for fair livelihoods and decent work for all people - including farmworkers, who have historically been excluded from too many protections. As this movement for fair work spreads, we catch up with Crispin Hernandez of Workers' Center of Central New York.   Fair Trade USA's new “fair trade” dairy label has been on Chobani's Greek yogurt for nearly a year now, but little has changed for farmworkers. Instead, most of them don't even know what “fair trade” is and haven't seen the benefits that are getting sold to ethical consumers. But that's not stopping Crispin and his allies from pushing for better protections for all farmworkers, including overtime pay at 40 hours/week.  Topics covered include: The history behind a 40-hour work week and how farmworkers have been unjustly excluded from those workplace protections. Growing momentum across the United States for farmworkers to be paid overtime after 40 hours of work. Almost one year after “fair trade dairy” appeared on store shelves, farmworkers' still don't know what fair trade is or what benefits and rights they should have. What “fair trade committees” are, how they're described in the press, and what workers actually experience.   Chobani's commitment to charity, instead of changing the conditions that force people to depend on that charity.  The real physical consequences of overwork on workers' health and wellbeing - and how hard it is to get healthcare, even on a farm in the fair trade program. The Farm Laborer Fair Labor Practices Act in New York state and the campaign to lower the overtime threshold to 40 hours for farmworkers.  How fear of retaliation continues under the fair trade program, and has far-reaching consequences Do you work on a farm participating in the “Fair Trade Dairy” program?
