No additional labour costs for Queensland employers
Employers who choose to make awards and agreements after the Queensland amendments commence, and who do not address them in the agreements made with their employees, will face the cost of the legislated minimum entitlements in the Industrial Relations Act 1999 (PDF, 1.9 MB)
The minimum entitlements legislation will not add to the labour costs for Queensland employers as it will have:
- no impact on current State or Federal awards and agreements
- no impact on non-award employees
- no impact on new awards and agreements made or varied after the 1 September 2005, if they address these entitlements.
Only those employers who choose to make awards and agreements after the Queensland amendments commence, and who do not address them in the agreements made with their employees, will face the cost of the legislated minimum entitlements in the Industrial Relations Act 1999 (PDF, 1.9 MB).
