The objective of the Act is to establish clear and uniform conditions of service within establishments, ensuring both employees and employers understand their respective rights and obligations unequivocally. Prior to its enactment, employers had unilateral authority to set service conditions as they pleased. However, the Act now restricts this freedom, requiring establishments to certify specific service conditions, such as probation period extensions or changes to superannuation age, through standing orders.
At OpulenceHR, we engage in detailed discussions to understand the unique requirements of our clients, aligning with industry practices. We recommend and implement necessary changes to protect our clients’ interests, incorporating them into draft standing orders for certification by the appropriate authority. By obtaining certified standing orders, OMS Labour provides our clients with legally binding regulations that apply to all company employees, ensuring compliance and clarity.
