Long awaited changes to Fair Work Act passed, and a further bill introduced

On 11 November a number of amendments were made to the Fair Work Amendment (Cth) 2014 and were subsequently passed by the Federal Government.  This article by Cooper Grace Ward Lawyers succinctly outlines the changes (e.g. request to extend unpaid parental leave) and notes the amendments that were not passed (e.g. annual leave loading on termination of employment). It also observed that those items that were not passed were included in the Fair Work Amendment (Remaining 2014 Measures) Bill 2015.
