The Fair Work Commission announced updates including the expanded coverage of the Early Childhood Education and Care Multi-employer Agreement and rejected Grill’d’s enterprise agreement due to inadequate explanation of its terms to employees.

Recent court decisions upheld single interest bargaining authorizations, fined a law firm for excessive hours worked by a junior lawyer, and imposed penalties on restaurant owners for underpaying migrant workers.
