(Issued by the Authority of the Minister for Industrial Relations)

Industrial Relations Act 1988

Industrial Relations Regulations (Amendment)

Section 359 of the Industrial Relations Act 1988 (the Act) provides that the GovernorGeneral may make regulations for the purposes of the Act.

Section 353A of the Act specifically provides that the Governor-General may make regulations requiring employers to make and retain records relating to employment of persons under an award and to issue pay slips to persons employed under an award.

Part 9A of the Industrial Relations Regulations (the Regulations) provides that employers make and retain an employment record for each employee containing a range of employment details.

Part 9B of the Regulations provides that employers issue pay slips, containing particulars which have been prescribed in relation to pay, to employees who are employed under an award.

Subregulation 131R(2) had provided that an act or omission on or before 31 March 1993 was not an offence under Part 9A of the Regulations. Similarly, subregulation 132D(2) had provided that an act or omission on or before 31 March 1993 was not an offence under Part 9B of the Regulations.

It has been necessary that these dates be amended to a later date to allow effective compliance with Part 9A and Part 9B before the offence provisions commence.

The date contained in subregulation 131R(2) and subregulation 132D(2) has been amended to 30 June 1993 in each case.
