Have you distributed the Workplace Relations Fact Sheet to your employees yet?

From 20 July 2007 employers covered by the Workplace Relations Act 1996 (Cth) are required to provide a copy of a
"Workplace Relations Fact Sheet" to all employees.

New employees from 20 July 2007 must receive a copy of the Fact Sheet within 7 days of commencing as an employee.

Existing employees as at 20 July 2007 must receive a copy of the Fact Sheet before 20 October 2007.

Employers face a fine of up to $110 for each employee who does not receive the Fact Sheet within the above time frames.

Employers can distribute the Fact Sheet to existing employees in a number of ways, including:

• Emailing a copy to employees.
• Printing copies and distributing them.
  

Copies of the Fact Sheet are available from the Workplace Authority either online (www.oea.gov.au) or by phoning the Workplace Infoline on (1300 363 264).
