Following on from the 2017 Minimum Wage Decision, the Fair Work Commission (FWC) has released the new pay rates in respect of the HEALTH PROFESSIONALS AND SUPPORT SERVICES AWARD 2010.
The new pay rates come into force from 1 July 2017.
You should ensure that your payments are consistent with the new rates from this date and that any penalties or entitlements paid reflect these changes.
This year's Privacy Awareness Week (PAW) theme, Privacy in your hands, reinforces the message that organisations, agencies and individuals must be vigilant in maintaining a good understanding of their rights and responsibilities for the handling of personal information.
