Employment Relations (Trial Periods) Amendment Bill
19 December 2023 — It’s great to be speaking on the Employment Relations (Trial Periods) Amendment Bill in its third reading. I want to make it clear that the 90-day trial already exists and what we’re seeking to ensure is that businesses can make use of it—all businesses. Much of what was raised by members opposite shows it’s clearly their intention to call into question the entire Act, not just the extension of this from small and medium businesses to all businesses.
