What are Industry Wide Awards? (Modern Awards in Australia's Workplace Relations System)

Описание: In today's video, we dive into the significant role of industry-wide Awards, also known as Modern Awards, in Australia's workplace relations system. These awards outline minimum standards for employees in specific industries or occupations, building upon the National Employment Standards set by the Fair Work Commission.

We’ll explore how Modern Awards set higher pay rates, more leave allowances, specific penalty rates for overtime or weekend work, and allowances for various industry-specific conditions.

You'll learn how these awards ensure fairness within an industry by setting consistent minimum standards for wages and conditions across different employers.

We'll also discuss the relationship between Modern Awards and Enterprise Agreements, the periodic review process by the Fair Work Commission, and how employment contracts can offer additional benefits on top of the award provisions.
