State industrial laws
All states have industrial laws which apply to certain conditions of employment such as minimum wages, leave entitlements and maximum hours of work. These laws usually provide a minimum wage which must be paid to all workers.
State laws about these matters continue to apply to all employers in Australia (other than employers in the territories and Victoria and transitional employers) who do not run their business and employ workers through a company structure.
State laws also provide for workplace agreements, unfair dismissal actions and record keeping responsibilities.
Long service leave is a state responsibility which applies to all employers whether they are otherwise covered by state or federal industrial laws.
State industrial laws also deal with union right of entry and disputes about awards and workplace agreements.
