The impact of the March 2020 changes to the provisions around annualised salaries were far-reaching and varied. They also possibly didn’t receive the attention they deserved when they launched in the middle of what was an exceptional year and a rapidly changing landscape.

Compliance with the new provisions placed a series of new and heightened obligations around communication, contracting, record keeping and overall operational management of the applicable employees.  In addition to the obvious operational challenges;  without consideration; implementation of the new provisions could also result in lower levels of employee engagement and motivation.

Gemma Sharp, Special Counsel of Cooper Grace Ward and Stephen van Dorp, COO of Mullins Lawyers explain the award changes, risk mitigation and compliance and the impacts they have experienced in everyday practice.
