Starting a New Job

Starting a new job can be an exciting time. It can also be a little nerve-wracking.
All employees in the national workplace relations system are protected by certain legal rights.They cover things like:
the hours you work
the pay you get
the breaks and leave you can take
the way you’re treated at work.
It’s unlawful for your employer to give you less than your minimum rights – even if you have signed an employment contract which agrees to less.

This short course will assist you to get off to the best possible start at work. It will help you understand:

what your rights are
what questions to ask
the types of behaviour expected in the workplace.
This course will provide you general guidance about starting a new job. For specific advice and assistance contact the Fair Work Ombudsman or your union.
