the Fair Work Act (Australia)

The Fair Work Act 2009 is Australia's key law governing workplace relations, ensuring fair treatment for employees and clear standards for employers. It sets out minimum wages, working hours, leave entitlements, and protections against unfair dismissal. The Act established the Fair Work Commission, an independent body that oversees these regulations, manages collective bargaining, and resolves workplace disputes. Its goal is to promote fair, flexible, and productive workplaces while balancing the rights and responsibilities of both employees and employers across various industries.
