Before hiring a new employee, employers need to make sure they know their rights, responsibilities and obligations – whether they relate to pay, minimum terms and conditions, tax or superannuation.
Similarly, employees should familiarise themselves with their workplace rights and obligations so they can make sure they are being treated fairly at work.
Employee entitlements vary depending on the type of employment: full-time, part-time or casual.
