During this COVID-19 pandemic, employers need to know their obligations to their employees and consider what needs to be done to protect the physical and financial health of your employees and business.
The Fair Work Act 2009 provides that employers have a right to stand down employees in certain circumstances. Modern awards, enterprise agreements or employment contracts may also contain stand down provisions and generally such periods are unpaid.
Join Chris Smith, CEO of Happy HR, to learn about your rights and responsibilities as an employer in the face of COVID-19 in this FREE member webinar.
