With the Christmas and New Year break approaching, many businesses are planning their annual shutdown. If you intend to close your workplace, it’s critical to be across the current Fair Work rules to ensure you are compliant and avoid unexpected wage costs. A “shutdown” is a temporary closure of a business, such as over the festive season. The rules for directing award-covered employees to take annual leave changed in 2023.
