New rules for job ads

New rules have come into effect that may change the way some small businesses undertake recruitment. It’s now illegal to advertise jobs that pay below the minimum wage — or award — for every job. It will particularly have an impact on any business that employs workers on piece rates. While the Chair of the Council of Small Business Organisations Australia, Matthew Addison, says it is a good thing, he says many business owners and managers should seek advice to ensure they are not now breaking the law.
