Most employers spend a lot of time and money organising end of year festivities. However employers may forget about their obligations to employees with respect to health and safety. These obligations apply regardless of whether the functions are held at or away from the workplace, or during or after working hours.

It is important that employers and employees both understand that participating in celebratory functions is considered a ‘work-related activity’ that trigger the operation of workplace health and safety, anti-discrimination, workplace bullying and sexual harassment laws.

Detailed below is an action plan to minimise members’ liability by taking all reasonable steps to prevent the occurrence of unlawful or unsafe partying.

Action planMembers should:

• remind all employees (from shop floor to managers) that even though the function is held away from the workplace and after hours, the usual workplace standards of behaviour apply

• review relevant workplace policies including sexual harassment, workplace bullying, discrimination and use of social media (consider issues such as posting party photos online and sending Tweets and text messages about the party)

• ensure that managers and employees are familiar with the workplace harassment and bullying policies and organise refresher training or redistribute policies if necessary

• remind managers and supervisors that they have a responsibility at staff functions to supervise the function to prevent inappropriate behaviour and excessive drinking

• remind employees about the range of disciplinary actions that can be taken if they engaging in bullying, discrimination or harassment

FESTIVE SEASON

Enjoy the party but avoid the pitfalls

• appoint someone who will not be drinking alcohol as the “responsible person” to monitor the event and deal with any issues that arise including closing the function if it becomes necessary

• remind employees that name-calling, and making references to employees’ sexual preference or sexual life will not be tolerated

• advise employees that certain items are not appropriate as Kris Kringle presents (e.g. no items from “adult shops”)

• ensure that ‘acts’ or ‘skits’ at any staff concert or performance are within the boundaries of workplace discrimination and harassment legislation (e.g. no racist or sexist jokes)

• set starting and finishing times for the function

• suggest a dress code, and

• advise employees that any after function activities are not part of, or an extension of, the employer organised function.

Alcohol consumptionMembers should:

• appoint managers and supervisors to check that apprentices and junior employees are over 18 years if they will be consuming alcohol

• ask employees to prearrange transport to and away from the venue of the function and consider organising carpooling or providing subsidised transport (e.g. hired bus or limited reimbursement of taxi fares)

• issue a general memorandum about the responsible consumption of alcohol (VACC Industrial Relations can provide you with one)

• place limits on alcohol consumption (e.g. provision of light beer), and

• ensure that food, soft drinks, juice and water are served at the function.

For more information, please contact VACC Industrial Relations.

Obligation to offer permanent employment to casualsA recent Federal court ruling has reinforced a casual employee’s right to request to convert to permanent full-time employment and highlights the need to comply with award and contractual arrangements. In this case, a company was fined in excess of $40,000 for refusing to grant an employee’s request to convert to permanent full-time employment.

An enterprise agreement covering the business had a clause allowing casuals, working on a regular and systematic basis for more than six months, to elect to convert to permanent employment.

The Vehicle Manufacturing Repair, Services and Retail Award, has a similar

Gary McKendry of Gary Mac’s Auto Group in Cranbourne sadly passed away on Friday, 27 October 2017. Gary joined VACC in 1999 and was elected to the Automotive Dismantlers and Recyclers Division Executive Committee in 2004.

While on the ADRD Executive Committee, Gary was elected as Chair from 2005 to 2010, and he was also elected to the Board of Management in 2005, holding

VALE Gary McKendrythat position until his passing. Major issues that Gary was passionate about included end of life vehicles, the uptake of environmental initiatives and a national voice for recyclers.

Gary was well liked by his industry peers and VACC staff. He was a strong supporter of VACC and our industry initiatives.

He was well respected and well known in the industry as an advocate for recyclers and will be sadly missed.

casual conversion clause, since the award was introduced on 1 January 2010. This clause provides a casual employee, working regular and systematic hours for a period of six months (the conversion period) with the right to elect to have their working arrangements converted to either full-time or part-time employment. The right to convert is based on the nature of their working arrangements. In other words, if the employee is working 38 hours of work on a regular or systematic basis for the conversion period, the employee has a right to request permanent full-time employment.

An employee’s right to convert is currently confined to employees covered by the VMRSR Award. As a result of a Fair Work Commission decision during the four review of modern awards a conversion clause will also be inserted in the Clerks–Private Sector Award. An operative date has yet to confirmed by the Fair work Commission.

Award obligation to give written notification of right to electSubject to a casual employee’s employment continuing beyond the conversion period, an employer is required to give the employee notice in writing advising the employee of their right to elect to convert to permanent employment.

• Written notification must be provided by an employer within four weeks of the employee reaching the conversion period

• If an employee does not reply in writing within four weeks of receiving the written notification, they are deemed to have elected against any conversion

• If the employer does not write to the employee within the prescribed time frame, the right of election is not lost to an employee at a future time

Where a casual employee elects to convert to permanent employment, the clause allows an employer to refuse an election to convert, however this right can only be exercised after discussions have been held with the employee in an attempt to reach agreement on alternative working arrangements.

Where a casual employee converts to either permanent part-time or full-time employment, the casual would forfeit their casual loading. After the conversion date, the employee would then be entitled to accrual of leave entitlements.

VACC Industrial Relations has a pro forma letter a business can send to a casual employee to comply with their award obligations. The letter requires a casual to formally make an election as to whether they wish to remain employed on a casual basis or convert to permanent employment. This letter forms an important and essential record to confirm whether the casual employee wants to retain their casual status or convert to permanent employment and can be used by an employer in the event there is any dispute regarding employment status.

Staying safe when the heat is on…With the weather starting to warm up, it is important for members to be aware that working in hot conditions brings potential risks to the health and safety of employees.

Summer can be uncomfortable or even dangerous because of the heat, humidity, burning sun and glare. Employers should plan ahead to minimise the hazards faced by employees in the summer months.

Under occupational health and safety legislation, there is no maximum temperature at which work should cease.

Occupational health and safety laws require that an employer provide and maintain, so far as is reasonably practicable, a working environment for their employees that is safe and without risks to health. This general duty means that employers need to be aware of the potential hazards of working in hot conditions.

VACC recommends the provision of cool, clean water for employees at work. We also recommend that ventilation, mechanical cooling methods and/or work practices should be arranged to counteract excessive heat.

Employers should minimise the risk of injury due to heat hazards by planning for the summer months. Some employees will feel discomfort with the heat, and their work performance may be affected. Signs of heat stress include:

• mental or physical fatigue leading to errors,

• accidents arising from discomfort or non-use of personal protective equipment (PPE),

• dizziness, headache, nausea, and

• dehydration.

Employees may be reluctant to wear their PPE due to heat discomfort. Allow employees to wear loose fitting and lighter clothing if practicable while maintaining requirements to wear PPE.

Controlling the impact of a hot working environment:An employer should take into consideration the following

suggestions to assist in managing heat stress.

For enclosed workplaces:

• air conditioning units should be switched on (if available)

• shift roster changes (work can be conducted in cooler parts of the day, ie early start times)

• provision of cool drinking water

• increase ventilation within the workplace such as fans or vents

• shield, insulate or suppress indoor heat sources such as furnaces, pipes, ovens and motors, and

• regular breaks should be provided to give employees with an opportunity to rehydrate.

For outdoor workplaces:

• hats and long sleeve shirts should be provided by the employer and supervision provided to ensure employees wear what is provided

• sunscreen should be provided

• provision of cool drinking water

• shift roster changes (work can be conducted in cooler parts of the day, e.g. starting earlier in the day)

• regular breaks should be provided to give employees with an opportunity to rehydrate, and

• provision of shaded work or rest areas.

Congratulations on 25 years of membership

Is it carer’s leave or annual leave?Carer’s leave imposes obligations on employers greater than those that traditionally applied before the advent of the Fair Work Act.

One example is the case of an employee who wishes to go overseas during the annual close down period and wants to be paid carer’s leave to look after their ill mother. The employee requests paid carer’s leave to return home overseas for two to three weeks over the Christmas period. The employee needs to arrange power of attorney to care for their mother who is unwell. VACC Industrial Relations may be asked whether such an arrangement is carer’s leave or annual leave.

Carer’s leave is provided to enable an employee to provide care or support for a member of the employee’s immediate family or a member of the employee’s

household, who requires care or support because of:• a personal illness, or a personal injury,

affecting the member; or• an unexpected emergency affecting the

member.

In this example, the employee’s mother is covered by the definition of “immediate family”. There is nothing in the Fair Work Act that states the immediate family member must be located in Australia.

The employee is not required to be the primary carer as long as he or she is providing care or support as set out in the National Employment Standards. If the absence does not meet the criteria then the alternative would be annual leave.

The meaning of ‘support’ is not defined in the Fair Work Act. However, if an employee can produce reasonable evidence from an appropriate person which states the employee is required to give care or support to a family member or household member, the employee would have the right to take carer’s leave.

Please contact VACC Industrial Relations for further advice.

The State Emergency Service (SES) provides a service in the case of fire, flood or other emergency.

The SES recruits regular volunteers, and in the case of major emergencies, it calls for additional volunteers.

The volunteers provide this service in addition to their regular work.

It is important for employers to be aware if any of their staff are emergency service volunteers, as this may affect their attendance at work. Employees that voluntarily provide a service to the SES should advise their employer that they are a registered volunteer.

Employing voluntary emergency workersDiscussions should be held with employees to consider a rostering system for emergency stand-by and attendance at emergencies compatible with normal work requirements.

There is no legislative or award obligation on the employer to pay voluntary emergency workers while they are away during working hours. Any arrangement payment for time off work should be discussed between the employer and employee.

If an employer doubts that the employee has attended a genuine emergency, the employer can request a letter from

the unit controller stating the time and duration of attendance at the emergency.

Under the Fair Work Act, an employee may take community service leave to carry out voluntary emergency management activity where it is reasonable in all the circumstances. An employer may face a penalty of up to $63,000 for a breach of the Act so it is important to be aware of your obligations to allow community service leave.

If members have any queries regarding emergency service volunteers, contact VACC Industrial Relations.
