Modern Awards
The transition to Modern Awards is proving to be quite challenging. This is a new system and many of the clauses in the awards are open to interpretation.Through our member's calls to our phone helpline we are learning more about the difficulties in implementation. Refer to past issues of eConnect to find out about some of the issues that we have dealt with recently. We will be adding information to our website regularly and are working on a Plain English Guide to each of the Modern Awards. We will let you know when these are available.
