From 1st January 2010, all employers have to give a copy of the Fair Work Information Statement (the statement) to all new employees but not existing employees.
The Statement will detail various matters including:
- Listing the provisions of he NES;
- Modern Awards;
- Agreement making;
- The right to freedom of association; and
- The role of Fair Work Australia.
If an Enterprise Agreement covers the workplace, all employees must have access to a copy of the agreement.
All employees must be made aware of the company’s policies and procedures. Usually there will be a booklet or pamphlet containing the information.
