Comply with Fair Work requirements

As an employer, you must comply with workplace rights and obligations. You have legal and regulatory responsibilities under:

• the federal Fair Work Act 2009
• the National Employment Standards
• potentially under awards or enterprise agreements.

The Fair Work Ombudsman has a dedicated section on their website for small businesses, where you can learn about:

• pay, including keeping your records up to date
• leave
• employee entitlements
• awards and agreements.

To find out more about your rights and obligations as an employer, visit the Small business section on the Fair Work Ombudsman website.
