Over recent years there have been several changes to workplace laws with the introduction of the Fair Work Act and the abolishment of Work Choices. As a member of the workforce you have the right to be paid at the appropriate level for your industry. You can choose to be a member of a union and you can be entitled to a range of leave provisions. So where do you begin to find out these facts, especially if this is your first job? The Work Rights and Responsibilities page on myfuture is an excellent place to start. Here you will find useful information on where to find the following: How much will I be paid? What are my main working conditions? What are my legal entitlements? What do I need to know about equity and safety in the workplace? Do I have to join a union? Under what circumstances can my employment lawfully be terminated? Doing a little research now could save you time and possible problems in the future: http://www.myfuture.edu.au/The%20Facts/Work%20and%20Employment/Work%20Rights%20and%20Responsibilities.aspx | NSW Term 3, Week 10, 17 - 23 Sep 2012 | NSW Term 3, Week 9, 10 - 16 Sep 2012 | NSW Term 3, Week 8, 3 - 9 Sep 2012 | NSW Term 3, Week7, 27 Aug - 2 Sep 2012 | NSW Term 3, Week 6, 20 - 26 August 2012 | NSW Term 3, Week 5, 13 - 19 Aug 2012 | NSW Term 3, Week 4, 6 - 12 Aug 2012 | NSW Term 3 Week 3 30 Jul - 5 Aug 2012 | NSW Term 3, Week 2, 23 - 29 July 2012 | NSW Term 3, Week 1, 16 - 22 July 2012 | NSW Winter Holiday 2012 | NSW Term 2, Week 10, 25 June - 1 July 2012 | NSW Term 2, Week 9, 18 - 24 June 2012 | NSW Term 2, Week 8, 11 - 17 June 2012 | NSW Term 2, Week 7, 4 - 10 June 2012 | NSW Term 2, Week 6, 28 May - 3 June 2012 | NSW Term 2, Week 5, 21 - 27 May 2012 | NSW Term 2, Week 4, 14 - 20 May 2012 | NSW Term 2, Week 3, 7 - 13 May 2012 | NSW Term 2, Week 2, 30 Apr - 6 May 2012 | NSW Term 2, Week 1, 23 - 29 Apr 2012 | NSW Autumn Holiday 2012 | NSW Term 1, Week 10, 2 - 8 Apr 2012 | NSW Term 1, Week 9, 26 Mar - 1 Apr 2012 | NSW Term 1, Week 8, 19 - 25 March 2012 | NSW Term 1, Week 7, 12 - 18 March 2012 | NSW Term 1, Week 6, 5 - 11 March 2012 | NSW Term 1, Week 5, 27 February - 4 March 2012 | NSW Term 1, Week 4, 20 - 26 February 2012 | NSW Term 1, Week 3, 13 - 19 February 2012 | NSW Term 1, Week 2, 6 - 12 February 2012 | NSW Term 1, Week 1, 30 January - 5 February 2012 | NSW/ACT Christmas Holiday 2011/2012 | News NSW/ACT | | Sponsors | About Us | Terms and Conditions | Schools | | Return Home | News | Calendar | Post School | Explore | Careers Advice | Careers Advisers | Links | Contact Us | |
