Sources of Employment Rights

Unions have campaigned to win and defend virtually every workplace right that we enjoy today —from the 38-hour work week to superannuation and to paid family and domestic violence leave. Those employment rights come from a number of different legal sources. There are also several different organisations that establish, administer and enforce these rights and standards. In this section you can find information on:

  • The National Employment Standards
  • Modern Awards
  • Enterprise Agreements
  • Employment Contracts
  • Types of Employment
  • Fair Work Commission
  • Fair Work Ombudsman
