Submission on Protection of Employees (Fixed Term Work) Bill 2003
Summary
Free Legal Advice Centres (FLAC) is an organisation with a strong track record in providing advice and information to members of the public on their entitlements under employment legislation. Our information line deals with up to a thousand queries a year in this area, with many referrals coming from state agencies including the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment. We also provide training and technical support to information providers such as Citizen's Information Centres (CICs) and occasional legal representation.
This submission focuses on specific aspects of the proposed legislation of particular concern rather than providing a general critique. They are taken in the order that they appear in the Bill.
