From 26 August, workers across the country have a new right in the Fair Work Act. The new law is called the ‘Employee Right to Disconnect’. This new law is designed to protect workers who do not wish to engage with the workplace outside their working hours. Our Union has proudly campaigned for the last decade for "No Pay No Way". Why? Because we believe it's important to protect work/life balance. What is changing and where can you find more information? Go here https://lnkd.in/gfyrVXdh

Today is Equal Pay Day It marks the 50 days into the new financial year that Australian women must work to earn the same, on average, as men did last year. This year's theme is "it doesn't add up." The national gender pay gap measures the difference between the average weekly full-time base salary earnings of women and men, expressed as a percentage of men’s earnings. It is a measure of women’s overall position in the paid workforce and does not compare like roles. Equal pay is the concept of women and men being paid the same for performing the same role or different work of equal or comparable value. In Australia, this has been a legal requirement since 1969. The gender pay gap is different to equal pay. The Workplace Gender Equality Agency's research has identified three main contributors to Australia’s gender pay gap: * gender discrimination (36%) * care, family responsibilities and workforce participation (33%), * gender segregation by job type and industry (24%) Read more about it at: https://lnkd.in/gvp6vMj5
