Identity theft is on the increase in Australia and worldwide!

Syndicates and individuals are stealing and obtaining employee information through increasingly sophisticated methods from computer hacking to unlawful means of viewing and securing confidential information.

Are you aware that various legislation and rules requires that you protect employee information and records ensuring only authorised persons have access to those records and that severe penalties can be imposed for non compliance.

There are various options you can take to protect your employee’s identity theft that include computer solutions to other forms of monitoring.

As this matter is of critical importance you should take specialist advice to protect your business.

An Individual Flexibility Agreement is a useful mechanism for employers who have Award or Enterprise Agreement covered employees.

Flexibility provisions within Modern Awards allow employers and an individual employee to enter into arrangements whereby certain terms of the Award are modified to meet the individual circumstances of the employment relationship.

Flexibility provisions in Awards specify a number of terms of the Award which may be altered by a Flexibility Agreement (for example, Hours of Work, Overtime, Penalty Rates etc.). It is only those terms that are stated in the flexibility provisions of the Award that may be altered by arrangement.

How can I implement a Individual Flexibility Agreement?

Biz Momentum has experience to assist you in proposing, negotiating and writing flexibility agreements and with ease introducing them into your organisation or providing you with solutions should you wish to undertake this exercise yourself.

This means that those employees you have on leave before January 2010 will be able to take advantage of this provision. You need to ensure that your policies and procedures are up to date and that employees are informed.

There are other provisions which can affect your business and for further information:
