Key Features of the New Edition

This new edition looks at the impact of COVID-19 on employment law, on matters such as the power of employers to stand down or redeploy workers, whether employees can request or be required to work from home, and the taking and funding of pandemic leave. It also examines emerging controversies, such as whether vaccination against the coronavirus can be made compulsory for employees.
It explains the various amendments to the Fair Work Act made or proposed by the Morrison Government, as part of the ‘Omnibus Bill’ tabled in late 2020 and passed in heavily reduced form in March 2021. It explores in particular the major changes made by the new law to the definition and regulation of casual employment, following two key cases on labour hire workers in the mining industry.
It discusses controversies and developments that particularly impact women in the workplace, on matters such as sexual harassment, pay equity, and leave for victims of family and domestic violence.
The new edition covers the many changes made by the Fair Work Commission in the course of its lengthy review of modern awards, including to simplify and standardise their content.
It discusses a raft of significant new cases on the determination of whether workers are employees, and thus eligible for various rights and protections, including those providing services in the emerging ‘gig economy’.
The text has also been updated to incorporate other new case law since the last edition, including important decisions on the making of enterprise agreements, adverse action and unfair dismissal.
Reference is made to various changes to State legislation, such as the new ‘wage theft’ laws in Victoria and Queensland, as well as the substantial reforms proposed in Western Australia.
