Employment Point-in-Time Service Updates

The Employment Point-in-Time Service has been updated to include the Fair Work Amendment (Minor and Technical Measures No. 2) Regulations 2024 (Cth).

Fair Work Amendment (Minor and Technical Measures No. 2) Regulations 2024

The purpose of the regulations is to amend the Fair Work Regulations 2009 (Cth) (the Principal Regulations) to:

• prescribe the Industrial Court of New South Wales as an ‘eligible State or Territory court’ for purposes of the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth). This would enable that court to deal with applications under the Act that ‘eligible State or Territory courts’ can determine; see the table under subsection 539(2) of the Act. This would include, for example, underpayment claims; and
• amend subregulation 3.07(8) of the Principal Regulations to restore the original policy intent of the Principal Regulations and make it clear where the Commission has expended considerable resources assisting parties, it is not required to refund an unfair dismissal application fee.

These amendments have been updated in the Point-in-Time Employment Service current to 25 November 2024. (Note: Subscription required).
