Transition Over - Work Choices record-keeping to be enforced |
After a transitional period for employers to comply with the new requirements, it is now obligatory for them to produce and retain certain employee records. |
The records include hours worked, pay, annual leave and personal leave. Records must be legible, in English, and in a form readily accessible to a workplace inspector. Employers must also issue pay slips to employees. |
Records generally need to be kept for seven years. If an employer is found to breach the law, a court can order fines of up to $5,500 per offence. An employer can be found liable whether aware or not of the need to comply. Contact your solicitor if you would like further information. |
