Modern Awards

AFEI has been actively involved in the award modernisation process. We have made written submissions, appeared at consultation sessions and made further presentations so that your views are represented at each stage of the process.

We put forward our propositions on the appropriate coverage and content of modern awards. Once the exposure draft award is published, we identify the specific features in  the draft awards that will increase costs for employers or present other problems. We have argued that for each award, the AIRC should consider in detail what the new provisions will cost employers, their operative effect and the adverse impact  they may have on job creation.
