Welcome to this weeks’ episode of The Australian Small Business Show!

Today is Part 2 of a 3 part series we are bringing you on the recent Closing the Loopholes Act which delivered a raft of changes to the Fair Work Act and our Industrial Relations laws.

Today we are talking about the introduction of the Right to Disconnect Laws.

We start by discussing what a right to disconnect is, and what this all means.

Then we look at what we know so far in terms of the specific legislation and when it commences operation.

Following this, we take a look more practically about what this means for you and your business.

Welcome to this weeks’ episode of The Australian Small Business Show!

Today is Part 1 of a 3 part series we are bringing you on the recent Closing the Loopholes Act which delivered a raft of changes to the Fair Work Act and our Industrial Relations laws.

Today we are tackling the question: is the worker an employee or contractor.

This is a topic that has been an ongoing debate, and lots of employers have been hiding behind non-existent loopholes, or assuming they can make their own rules when it comes to this issue. The truth is that isn’t going to fly anymore, and now is the time to revisit any contractor arrangements you have and make changes.

In this episode, we start by looking at the definition of an employment relationship, and particularly what defines a relationship between and employer and employee versus that of a client and supplier or contractor.

We discuss the various factors to consider when engaging a new worker in order to determine whether they are an employee or a contractor, the importance of getting it right from the outset and where to get advice from about this complex issue.

Welcome to this weeks’ episode of The Australian Small Business Show!

We’re back! Yes, you may have noticed we’ve been MIA. But we’re back, and we wanted to share a little about where we have been, why the radio silence and what’s coming up on the show.

Whilst we didn’t want to bore you with all the details of why we needed to take a break, we did want to share some tips we have, and some of the strategies we’ve needed to implement to keep our businesses afloat during this period of time.

The reality is that whilst we would like to keep business and personal live separate, when there is a disruption in our personal lives it will impact our businesses – in one way or another. But there are some strategies you can rely on to minimise any potential negative impact, and what’s what we’re talking about today.
