In hearing the appeal of Deputy President Gooley\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s decision in the two-yearly review of the Restaurant Industry Award 2010, the Full Bench of the Fair Work Commission undertook a long and detailed consideration of the legislative, social, demographic, and economic issues at play in the weekend penalty rates debate. Each of these issues will be considered in detail, with the eventual conclusion being reached that the social disadvantage arising from weekend work remains significant enough in modern times to warrant the retention of weekend penalty rates in the Modern Awards. However, it is also argued that there may be cause to reduce such penalties under individual Modern Awards based upon the nature of the particular industry or occupation, and in the context of the other considerations which form part of the Modern Awards objective under the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth).<\/p>\n To purchase this article, complete the Individual Article Sale<\/a> order form and email it to tlranz.journal.orders@thomsonreuters.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n Penalty rates: Do employer claims stack up? <\/em><\/strong><\/a>\u00e2\u20ac\u201c Tom Kavanagh<\/p>\n The Full Bench of the Fair Work Commission recently varied the Restaurant Industry Award to reduce penalty rates for certain casual workers. This article examines whether the assertions made by employers regarding the impact of penalty rates have been adequately supported by evidence, and suggests that such evidence should be a necessary requirement so that employer claims can be appropriately assessed and balanced against the competing claims of employees.<\/p>\n To purchase this article, complete the Individual Article Sale<\/a> order form and email it to tlranz.journal.orders@thomsonreuters.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n Inappropriate behaviour on picket line results in lawful dismissal <\/em><\/strong><\/a>\u00e2\u20ac\u201c Mark Curran<\/p>\n Union members are not protected from disciplinary action under the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) whilst they are engaging in lawful industrial activities.
