The Fair Work Ombudsman Nicholas Wilson is urging small business owners to familiarise themselves with the changes. From January 1 2010, small business will operate under the Federal Government's new safety net of minimum employment conditions. The FWO has a team of highly skilled advisers available to answer phone queries from 8am-6pm weekdays from small business owners.
The January 1, 2010 changes follow the commencement of the Fair Work Act on July 1 this year which requires small business to comply with new unfair and unlawful dismissal laws, agreement-making obligations, transfer of business rules and workplace rights.
