Do you manage/pay wages? Are you paying them correctly and in accordance with Fair Work?
THAT’S COMING OUT OF YOUR WAGES!
To give some common examples, where this might occur is where you might damage property in the workplace or even an employer taking amounts out of your wage to top up a cash register that hasn’t balanced after your shift. However, if your employer has ever actually taken deductions from your wage for those reasons, or any reasons similar, they may be breaching national employment legislation.
The National Employment Standards
The National Employment Standards (“NES”) cover everyone in the national workplace system. Because this covers most employees in businesses in Australia, it doesn’t matter what State you work in, you will have the same rights and obligations.
