联邦政府修订劳动法 小企业可以不予警告即开除员工

一炷香

舆论普遍认为，导致Howard政府去年大选失利的一个主要因素就是他执意推行的新的劳雇关系法WorkChoice。自竞选开始前，工党就承诺一旦上任，就会动手废除这个不合理的规定。近日反对党终于对此让步，这样工党就可以正式开始废除工作。


在可能退出的新政策里，有一条规定小型企业可以在不给予员工事先警告的情况下开除工作少于12个月的员工。那些效力超过12个月的，允许有一次改过机会。


其他一些变化包括临时工和在少于100人的企业工作的员工在被解雇时也能得到法律保护；受雇于少于15人的企业，工作时间超过12个月的享有解雇保护。


Careful - one warning and you're fired

THE three strikes and you're fired policy will not apply under Labor's new workplace regime.

One warning will be enough, Small Business Minister Craig Emerson says.

The changes to unfair dismissal laws were an important concession to small business, he said.

Any employee who committed theft, fraud or violence in the workplace could be dismissed on the spot.

"You just say you're finished,'' Dr Emerson told ABC Television today.

In other circumstances, employees - who have worked for longer than 12 months - would have one chance to improve their performance.

"No three written warnings, appropriately spaced over time, no legalistic processes.''

Under Labor's laws, three million more workers will have access to protection against unfair dismissal, almost doubling the number now protected.

Casual employees will be covered for the first time and unfair dismissal protection will be available to workers in businesses with fewer than 100 employees provided they have worked there for six months.

Workers at small businesses with fewer than 15 employees will also receive unfair dismissal protection provided they have worked there for 12 months.

Acting Prime Minister and Workplace Relations Minister Julia Gillard introduced Labor's Fair Work Bill into parliament yesterday, saying the new laws will restore balance to workplace rights and protection for workers.
