The first application seeking a regulated labour hire arrangement order has been lodged in Queensland.
If granted it will require a labour hire company to extend the benefits of the host employer’s enterprise agreement to its (the labour hire company’s) employees who perform work for the host employer.
The application is likely to be hotly contested and will probably be referred directly to the Full Bench of the Fair Work Commission.
What happens from here?
If you are not in the labour hire business or don’t engage labour through a labour hire business, sit back and enjoy the debate that will ensue.
If you do engage labour hire employees, you may wish to seek advice on how the outcome of this application, and the many other similar applications that are likely to follow, will impact upon your business.
