Episode 29: Gender-based undervaluation and its impact on modern award rates of pay Join industrial relations partners Nick Ogilvie and Rohan Doyle on our latest episode of Inside IR where they unpack the latest developments in the Fair Work Commission's assessment of gender undervaluation of wages, and explore the impact this is having on minimum award rates of pay. Over the last few years, the Commission has embarked on a comprehensive process to ensure that minimum rates of pay in modern awards reflect employees' work value and ensure equal remuneration for equivalent work performed by men and women. These cases are already delivering substantial increases in modern award rates of pay and arise in the context of the Commission's new obligation to consider gender-based undervaluation when varying award rates following the introduction of the Secure Jobs, Better Pay reforms. On this episode, Nick and Rohan explore the current cases before the Fair Work Commission and some of the key early decisions, and discuss which industries and occupations are likely to be considered next. Update: Since filming, the Fair Work Commission has also issued a Statement https://www.fwc.gov.au/documents/sites/am2025-19/2025fwcfb156.pdf confirming that the Commission will now determine whether minimum award rates of pay should be increased for professional degree-qualified employees covered by a provisional list of 22 modern awards. The list of awards is contained at Attachment A of the Statement. Interested parties have the opportunity to comment on the provisional list by 22 August 2025. Please get in touch with a member of our team if you would like to understand this process in further detail or are considering making a submission.

Season 08 Episode 05: Is it a crime? The syrupy sweetness of criminal recovery, comebacks, and swearing in the workplaceWARNING: This episode discusses human rights breaches - we advise listener discretion.Does a criminal record mean a life sentence of unemployment? This episode dives into how past convictions keep people locked out of work. Alan reflects, “Inclusive hiring isn't charity. It's good business sense. We should not define skills and character by a past conviction.” Alan recounts a case of a government employee hampered by a past criminal investigation. Listen in to learn about the results of this worker's subsequent appeal to the Human Rights Commission. Trajce offers, “When we shut people out because of old mistakes, we create cycles of disadvantage that hurt everyone—individuals, families, and communities.”Alan also shares a story about the punitive treatment of a manager whose swearing at a barista prompted a workplace review. “Someone needed their caffeine,” remarks Sara. The workplace investigated reproachable behaviours occurring outside of the principal place of work. The retelling of this story triggers bloopers and bleepers in this episode!

Hello and welcome to Episode 280 of the People Powered Business Podcast.In this episode we're unpacking a recent Fair Work Commission decision that has seen a worker based in the Philippines being deemed to be an employee of an Australian based business, and what that means for those engaging offshore workers.In the case, the worker, based in the Philippines, was working for a Brisbane based business. Her tasks were to work as a Paralegal. She worked from her home, and was required to work Australian hours – 8:30am to 5pm QLD time.Her engagement was terminated by the business (because she allegedly copied company data onto a personal computer drive – an allegation she denies).Upon termination she felt wronged and unprotected. She felt unprotected by Philippines workplace law because of how her engagement was set up, but also wasn't sure she was covered by Australian workplace law, but because she felt like she was acting just like an employee – she would make an unfair dismissal claim with the Fair Work Commission.The company of course argued that she wasn't in Australia, and therefor was a contractor, not an employee, and as a result not eligible to make the claim.However, the worker pointed out that the Fair Work Act does not in fact state that you need to be physically in Australia for this to make such a claim.The outcome? The first thing that needed to be determined, was whether she was an employee and therefore eligible to make the unfair dismissal claim.The Fair Work Commission ruled that she was an employee of the Australian company, and that she was not conducting her own business and therefore not a contractor.They ruled that as an employee, she was entitled to all of her workplace rights under the Fair Work Act, including the national minimum wage, which was at the time of the termination $6.87 per hour higher than what she was getting paid.The result This has paved the way for her to make a claim for back payment of wages, and to pursue the unfair dismissal claim, amongst other things.You can read the full article here: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06-03/filipino-woman-changed-game-for-australias-offshore-workers/104750996We unpacked what this case might mean for you if you engage offshore workers in your business.If you'd like to connect with other businesses who are also juggling the challenges of teams, I'd love you to join us inside our free Facebook Group, The People Powered Community, so I can learn more about what's working for you and any challenges you might be having.Join Here.https://www.facebook.com/groups/hrsupportaustralia

The team this week work through some 'frequently asked questions' that clients have about probationary periods in employment contracts: what they are, why have them, and how they relate to the various statutory protections around dismissal.

In this episode, we dive into the transformative changes to independent contracting in Australia under Section 15AA of the Fair Work Act, effective from 26 August 2024. The new law introduces a statutory definition of employment, shifting the focus from written contracts to the real substance and practical reality of working relationships. This marks a return to the multi-factorial assessment approach, considering factors like control, risk, and work expectations.We explore the implications for businesses and contractors, including the opt-out provision for high-income earners (above $175,000), who can choose to rely on contract terms instead. The episode also covers new protections against unfair contract terms, allowing contractors to challenge exploitative clauses through the Fair Work Commission.We finish with 'The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly', our regular current affairs segment, where we showcase three recent cases from the Fair Work Commission.

An important part of the Fair Work Commission's regulatory approach is to listen to and learn from stakeholders in our registered organisations community. In this episode, we invited Tom Lynch, the Federal President of the Community and Public Sector Union (CPSU), to share his perspective on what good governance looks like in his organisation.

Kia ora,Welcome to Wednesday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from Interest.co.nz.And today we lead with news the global economic expansion is losing pace, led by the US.But first up today, the overnight full dairy auction pulled back, and expected, but perhaps not be as much as the derivatives markets suggested. In the end prices were down -1.6% in USD terms and -3.0% in NZD terms on a rising Kiwi dollar. It was a mixed picture across the commodities offered.In the US, the weekly Redbook retail monitor pulled back last week to be 'only' +4.9% higher than the same week a year ago. That is a sharpish dip from the prior week's +6.1% and mid-April's +7.4%. Much of this may be attributable to tariff-tax increases, with sales volumes easing faster now.Meanwhile, April job openings were little-changed but they did come in slightly higher than expected at 7.4 mln. We get the May non-farm payrolls report this Saturday (NZT) and that is expected to show a modest +130,000 rise.Meanwhile April factory orders came in weak, down a sharp -3.7% following the boosted March gain of +3.4%. Between the two months, a slight easing that was setting in since November. From April 2024 these order levels are up +0.6% and that is before accounting for inflation.The US Logistics Managers Index rose, but because inventory costs, warehousing utilisation, and transportation prices all rose at a faster rate, probably not the indicators that help their economy.But the latest RCM/TIPP optimism survey did rise for 'positive' reasons, but only back to levels it was in November after retreating rather sharply from a February high. The tariff-tax staggers may be easing among investors and the surveyors say this indicates US "consumers are closer to optimism".In Canada, Canadians have so heavily altered their travel plans to the US that the duty-free stores at the border seem to be on their knees in what is being called a 'collapse'.In South Korea, the candidate of the more liberal Democratic Party seems to be the winner of Tuesday's snap presidential election. It is a clear break, with voters turning away from the conservative party, who's previous President triggered their constitutional crisis. It's a win for the rule of law. The other main candidate has conceded.In China, they have delivered something of a surprise. The May Caixin China factory PMI unexpectedly dropped to 48.3, down from April's expanding 50.4 and missing market forecasts of a faster expansion (50.6). This was the first contraction in the sector in eight months and the steepest since September 2022. Output shrank alongside a renewed drop in new orders, with foreign sales declining at a faster pace. The official factory PMI came in at 49.5, a small improvement (lesser decline).Eurozone consumer price inflation eased to 1.9% in May, down from 2.2% in April and below market expectations of 2.0%. With inflation under control, that gives the ECB some room to trim interest rates further at their Friday (NZT) review.Globally, the OECD has lowered its economic expansion forecasts as the Trump tariff-taxes bite, and the US an economy they see suffering as much as others from the impact.That is spurring free trade talks among other nations, especially between Australia and the EU.In Australia, their Fair Work Commission's Expert Panel announced the National Minimum Wage and award wages will increase by +3.5% from 1 July 2025, following the 2024-25 Annual Wage Review. That means their National Minimum Wage will increase by +AU$0.85 to AU$24.95 per hour. (NZ$26.90/hr) The New Zealand adult minimum wage is currently $23.50/hr.The UST 10yr yield is now at 4.46%, and unchanged from yesterday.The price of gold will start today at US$3,353/oz, and down -US$22 from yesterday.Oil prices are up +50 USc in the US at just over US$63.50/bbl and the international Brent price is up +US$1 at US$66/bbl.The Kiwi dollar is now at 60.1 USc, a -10 bps dip from yesterday at this time. Against the Aussie we are down -10 bps at just on 92.8 AUc. Against the euro we are unchanged at 52.7 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at just on 68.1 and down -10 bps from yesterday.The bitcoin price starts today at US$105,965 and up +1.6% from yesterday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been modest at just on +/-1.2%.You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Kia ora. I'm David Chaston.

The election of Pope Leo XIV is having an immediate and concrete effect in Australia – but in a way you might not have imagined. In the Fair Work Commission, the country's Catholic bishops are pushing for a major pay increase for the lowest paid workers. 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. He helped write and present the submission.Everyone deserves a proper and decent burial. Even those who have lived a life of crime or scandal can surely expect some dignity in death. But what if the deceased is a war criminal -- specifically a Nazi? In Germany, an organisation established after World War I to help locate and re-bury the remains of some of the millions who died has found itself in an ethical dilemma. Nicholas Casey is a staff writer for The New York Times magazine. He explored this question in a recent cover story. GUESTS:Nicholas Casey, writer and journalist - author of Unburying the Remains of the Third ReichTom Barnes, Economist with the Australian Catholic University and contributor to the Catholic Church's Wage Submission

Management Training, Trust, and the Evolving Role of Leaders In this episode, Michael sits down with David Dilger, founder of Edge Legal, to explore managers' challenges and why so many struggle in leadership roles. David shares his career journey and what led him to help organizations build positive, trust-based workplaces.

From stacking shelves to tapping away at the till, shops in Australia are run by workers whose future pay and conditions hang in the balance. Australia’s workplace tribunal, the Fair Work Commission, is hearing a case that could see the minimum gap between shifts cut from 12 to 10 hours. The proposal would also scrap rest breaks for higher-paid retail managers, a measure supported by some of Australia’s biggest companies – including Woolworths, Coles, Kmart, and MECCA. It comes as more than 300 ex-Lovisa staff launch a class action against the jewellery company over allegations they were underpaid, and regularly and illegally deprived of rest breaks.

Angry crowds throw mud at Spain's king in Valencia; an employer group brings a case on sleepover shifts to the Fair Work Commission, and, in sport, the Sydney Marathon becomes the seventh race in the world major series.

A few months ago, Joseph Catanzariti AM turned 65 and thus had to retire from his position as vice president of the Fair Work Commission. His search for work in the months since, he says, has been more fraught than anticipated. Here, he reflects on the biases against senior lawyers who are willing and able to undertake full-time work, the wellness impacts of such ageism, and how he has looked to adapt following his tenure at the nation's workplace tribunal. In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Joseph Catanzariti AM about his career in law spanning over four decades, the statutorily imposed retirements for judges around the country, why it has been so important to him to give back, the sense of purpose he finds as a lawyer, his reflections on being a judge, and the sense of making a difference in society. Catanzariti also discusses how he felt about his imposed retirement from FWC, his realisation that employers were not seeking a full-time 65-year-old professional, the biases dictating hiring decisions and societal impressions, how he has pivoted and responded vocationally, what legal member bodies can do to address the concerns of older practitioners, the wellness issues inherent with undervaluing those practitioners, and how both employers and individuals can navigate such issues.

In this episode of Inside IR, Steve Bell and Natalie Gaspar explore the new "right to disconnect" in Australia, which allows employees to refuse to monitor or respond to work-related communications outside of their ordinary hours, unless it is unreasonable to do so. Steve and Nat explore the implications of these new laws, including the role of the Fair Work Commission, how the laws intersect with broader obligations to manage psychosocial risk, the increasing awareness among workers of their rights to reasonable working hours, and the role of employers in managing these expectations.

In this not-to-be-missed episode of Inside IR, Partner Nick Ogilvie and Senior Associate Victoria Fijalski join Rohan Doyle to explore the learnings that can be taken from employers' early experiences with the new intractable bargaining regime. Join Nick, Vic and Rohan as they: • recap on what the intractable bargaining regime is, and provide a refresher on the preconditions that need to be met for the Fair Work Commission to make an intractable bargaining declaration; • review the case law within the intractable bargaining jurisdiction to date, and identify the 5 key traps for employers – mistakes that, if made, are going to lead to poor bargaining outcomes – and tips for how to avoid them; and • answer the burning question – is there any upside in the intractable bargaining regime for employers?
