Modern Awards can feel anything but “modern”.
With complex classification structures, frequent pay rate changes, and serious penalties for getting it wrong, Modern Awards remain one of the highest compliance risk areas for employers — particularly when roles evolve, employees work flexibly, or businesses grow quickly.
This practical webinar cuts through the confusion to help employers understand how Modern Awards operate in real workplaces, and where the most common (and costly) mistakes occur.
In just 60 minutes:
- Award Coverage Explained: You’ll learn how to determine whether a Modern Award applies to your business and which award covers your employees
- Getting Classifications Right: You’ll gain clarity on award classifications and how to correctly align roles, duties and pay rates
- Understanding Pay Obligations: You’ll get a practical breakdown of minimum pay rates and allowances
- Managing Employer Risk: You’ll be better equipped to identify award-related risks early and take proactive steps to avoid disputes, backpay claims and penalties
Please note that this is general information and not intended to replace legal advice under any circumstances.
