About the Community Endorsed Fair Employer Scheme

The Community Endorsed Fair Employer Scheme has been established to provide an opportunity for employers who respect workers rights to reach out to the community.

Whilst some businesses are sponsoring WorkChoices in a bid to cut labour costs, many employers feel uncomfortable about the attack on workers rights.

	Fair Employers undertake to: Maintain fair employment conditions Abide by employment related laws NOT introduce Australian Workplace Agreements (AWA’s) in their workplaces Respect the rights of their employees to be members of a union Not convert their employees to independent contractors in order to cut wages and conditions Endeavor at all times to deal with their employees fairly

This site has information on Why Workchoices is bad for business, the Benefits of being a fair employer, practical information on how to be fair in the workplace and information about the Fair Employers Network and how to join.

Please support the businesses listed under Participating Fair Employers - these businesses treat their employees with respect and dignity in the work force.
