Upcoming Changes to the SCHADS Award

In this webinar, Simon Obee (Principal Lawyer, Employment Innovations) and Sophie McCartney (Workplace Advisor, HR Connect) explored changes to the Social, Community, Home Care, and Disability Services Industry Award that will come into effect on 1 July 2022 and how these changes will impact employers.

Simon and Sophie discussed:

• Changes to minimum engagement/payment periods;
• New restrictions when employees work broken shifts;
• Increased entitlements for when employees are “on-call” or performing remote work;
• Changes to rules regarding client cancellations;
• Increased entitlements for employees working 24-hour care/excursion shifts.

The team also provided some helpful resources to use within your business.
