"The bill was introduced in the House of Representatives by the Hon Bill Shorten MP, on 21 March 2013. The bill proposes to amend the Fair Work Act 2009 in order to implement a number of recommendations made by the Fair Act Review Panel that have not already been implemented in the Fair Work Amendment Act 2012, as well as various reforms that reflect the Government's workplace relations policies. Broadly, the bill proposes to: introduce the right for pregnant women to transfer to a safe job, while providing flexibility in relation to unpaid parental leave so that special maternity leave taken will not affect the entitlement to unpaid parental leave; require employers to consult with employees about changes to work hours; amend modern awards to reflect the need to provide additional remuneration for employees working overtime, weekends or public holidays; provide the Fair Work Commission (FWC) with the ability to deal with disputes between employers and Unions regarding the frequency of visits to premises for discussion purposes; require interviews and discussions to be conducted in rooms agreed to by the occupier and permit holder; provide accommodation and transport arrangements for permit holders in remote areas and to include limits on the amount that an occupier can charge a permit holder; enable the FWC to deal with disputes concerning accommodation and transport arrangements; and give the FWC the function of promoting cooperative and productive workplace relations while preventing disputes. The bill also proposes to implement the Government response to the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Education and Employment's report into workplace bullying. These amendments propose to: Permit a worker who is subject to workplace bullying to apply to the FWC for an order to stop the bullying; Incorporate a definition of 'bullied at work', into the bill that is consistent with the term 'workplace bullying'; Require the FWC to initiate work on an application for an order to stop bullying within 14 days of the application being made; and Confer on the FWC the ability to make any order it deems suitable to stop the bullying. In addition, the bill incorporates a number of minor technical amendments."--Pages 2-3.
