A:
Employers covered by the Fair Work Act 2009 (the “FW Act”) also have obligations to consult with their employees when:
- they propose to introduce “major change” that has a “significant effect” on members, and/or
- where they propose to make changes to rosters or ordinary hours of work.
While consultation does not require that the employer and employee reach agreement, it must be a real opportunity for employees to make representations regarding their interests and have those considered by the employer when it makes or implements a decision.
