I’m an employer, what if I get something wrong?
The Fair Work Ombudsman can provide you with information, education and advice about your obligations. The Fair Work Ombudsman can help you determine correct entitlements under a modern award and assist you in complying with workplace laws.
However, under the Fair Work Act 2009, penalties of up to $6,600 for an individual and $33,000 for a corporation may apply to a breach of a term of a modern award or the National Employment Standards (NES).
Where can I get further information?
For further information on modern awards or other rights and obligations under the national workplace relations system, call us or chat online with our
