The Secure Employment Test Case decision handed down by the Industrial Relations Commission of New South Wales on 28 February 2006 has the potential to affect almost all New South Wales private sector awards. The decision sets out two standard clauses that are to go into New South Wales state awards: one giving casual employees a right to convert to part-time or full-time employment after six months; and one placing new occupational health and safety obligations on labour hire employers.

AMMA members can read further details of this decision in the National Circular emailed to them today.
