Employee Entitlements, including Pay, Leave and Flexible Working Arrangements
Understanding your employment rights and entitlements can be overwhelming. In Australia, there are many sources of an employee’s rights and entitlements, including employment contracts, legislation (including the National Employment Standards), and applicable modern awards and enterprise agreements. Employees also have various protections under Australian law for matters such as unfair dismissal, and discrimination, harassment and bullying in the workplace.
