Focus: Workplace Relations

In this issue: we look at work health and safety laws harmonisation; redeployment obligations in a redundancy; employer rights to determine where on-site union meetings are held; and whether asserting a right under an employment contract can ground an adverse action claim.

• Key issues in OHS harmonisation
• Reasonable to redeploy to lower paid and lower status position
• Refusal to allow lunch room union meeting reasonable
• Is a common law contract a ‘workplace instrument’ for adverse action purposes?
