ACCI recommends raft of changes on national employment standards

The ACCI has made a raft of recommendations on the Federal Government's draft national employment standards, arguing that high income earners should be exempt from some of the entitlements; that there should be a "proper inquiry" before introducing a national long service leave standard; that there should be a legislated minimum wage for non award workers; that the reference to maximum working hours be removed; that employees should be required to take six weeks leave after giving birth; that jury leave be unpaid; and that small businesses with 15 full-time equivalent employees be exempt from paying redundancy.
