Minister, I just want to understand the  effect of these amendments. The explanatory memorandum says that these amendments would require an employer to provide a copy of the workplace relations fact sheet to each employee within a week of the employee commencing employment. Given that most AWAs are offered to employees at the time they are employed—more often than not as a ‘take it or leave it’approach—is there anything in your amendments that requires the fact sheet to be provided to the employee prior to their being required to sign an AWA?
