Employers are calling for changes to “notoriously problematic” rules on hours, breaks and timesheets as part of the government’s review of awards.
Employers have invoked the working-from-home revolution to call for changes to “outdated” rules on working hours, rest breaks and timesheets as part of the Albanese government’s promised review of the awards system.deal with Senator David PocockAlthough Mr Burke has yet to finalise the scope of the review, Australian Industry Group has urged the government to focus on “notoriously problematic” parts of awards that it says no longer reflect the practical reality of work.
The rules are intended to ensure salaried workers don’t work so many hours that they end up being paid less than the award on an hourly basis. “Too many working people who have transitioned to working from home have faced additional hours, often unpaid or underpaid, additional stress, patchy application of work health and safety protections and other basic obligations that employers have to employees,” she said.Mr Burke told parliament last month that he had not decided on the mechanism for the award review but that he intended to start it next year.
