FEBRUARY 2010
A recent CCIQ survey of the Queensland business community found more
than half of all businesses are not fully compliant with the new Fair Work Act.
The primary reason for non-compliance is widespread confusion within the
business community about what is actually required under the new legislation.
CCIQ Training has two great Courses for employers and employees to
get on top of the new laws and reduce the risk of penalties.
