Fair Work Ombudsman has released a short checklist that SMEs can use to check their preparedness for the NES and modern awards.

Answer "yes" and celebrate the New Year with confidence … if not, it’s time to seek advice!

With just a month to go before the New Year ushers in new workplace laws, Fair Work Ombudsman Nicholas Wilson is urging small business owners not to wait until the last minute to familiarise themselves with the changes.

From January 1 next year, small business will operate under the Federal Government’s new safety net of minimum employment conditions.

Mr Wilson says employers who can’t answer "yes" to the following questions should seek assistance.

All businesses should review the checklist and ensure that they can answer 'yes' to each question. If you are unsure of any of the issues you need to contact us to arrange a meeting to help navigate you through these difficult times.
