 The new sexual harassment compensation provisions in the FWA tested by the Full Bench: Is pre-enactment misconduct relevant to a claim brought after?

This week, Kim McLagan and Monnette Samo will be presenting on The Key Role of Supervision in Safety.

A recent NSW Industrial Court case serves as a timely reminder of the importance of effective supervision in the workplace. Following a serious incident involving a worker who suffered life-changing burns, the Court found there had been multiple safety failures, including a total failure of supervision.

The case highlights that supervisors play a critical role in ensuring safe work procedures are followed, workers are properly trained and equipped, and hazards are actively managed.

The FWA and Australians Working Overseas: How Far Does Our Workplace Legislation Extend Beyond Australia?

As businesses increasingly engage employees who live and work outside Australia, understanding the reach of Australian workplace laws has never been more important.

In this podcast Andrew Douglas and Jim Babalis explore the circumstances in which overseas-based employees may still be covered by the Fair Work Act, safety, workers’ compensation and other workplace laws. We also discuss how there can be dual obligations with the country of residence further complicating people management.
