Does anyone know if the new IR laws apply to us, or do the old ones still apply? If not, is there a thread to inform me?
Here's the easy tell (for a more detailed answer you may ned to provide more details!):
Beemer or equivalent:
- If the age is increasing and series decreasing then the IR laws are applying to you, or
- if the age is decreasing and the series is increasing then the IR laws are applying to others for you.
Sort of Dog eat Dog - back to the Industrial Revoulution!
Remember two words;
Andrews and Liberal.

Almost but not quite.
a) If you are employed by a Trading Corporation (for the sake of simplicity this means a Company whose name ends in Pty Ltd, Ltd or Inc.) then the new laws apply to you.
b) If on the other hand you work for Joe Bloggs trading as International Freight Carriers then you are not.
The exception to b) is if before the 27th of March 2006 your employer was covered by a Federal Award. If that is the case then you are covered by Workchoices for a period of 3 years from the 27th of March 2006. If your employer has not incorporated by that time then you will revert to the State System.
c) Unless you and your employer are in Victoria in which case you are covered by Workchoices legislation.
If you are confused by this then you are free to join the rest of us...:( :(
pm me for a definite answer depending on your circumstances...
