Summary Note "This new edition explains the various amendments made to the Fair Work Act under the Turnbull Government, in relation to such matters as enterprise bargaining, industrial action and the enforcement of employment entitlements. It also highlights important changes to the regulation of workplace relations in the building and construction industry, as well as the many variations made by the Fair Work Commission in the course of its first (and possibly last) four-yearly review of modern awards. Those variations include significant alterations to penalty rates in certain industries, as well as provisions on casual and part-time employment, payment of wages and the taking of annual leave. The text has been updated to incorporate other new case law since the last edition, including important decisions on the making and termination of enterprise agreements, adverse action and termination of employment." - Back cover.
