"We're all learning... new acronyms, new exceptions, how to apply these laws," remarks Employment Partner, Trent Sebbens in this debut episode of the team’s Industrious Conversations series. Trent and Employment partner Kathy Srdanovic delve into one of the most significant changes introduced by the Closing Loopholes reforms: Regulated Labour Hire Arrangement Orders (RLHAOs).
This new regime, part of the Fair Work Act, requires that labour hire workers are paid a Protected Rate of Pay (PROP), aligning their wages with those of directly employed workers. The reforms have already triggered considerable activity, particularly in industries like mining, transport and aviation.
In this episode you will hear expert guidance on:
- The key criteria for the making of a Regulated Labour Hire Arrangement Order
- Exceptions where services, not labour, are provided
- Early test cases setting the tone for future rulings.
