The Fair Work Commission is tipped to announce the outcome of its review of weekend penalty rates in sectors such as hospitality and retail in September 2016. Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has indicated that the Federal Government will abide by the FWC’s decision and will not intervene, despite being urged by Opposition Leader Bill Shorten to make a joint submission to the review. Turnbull in turn has called on Shorten to support proposed legislation to outlaw the payment of "corrupting benefits" by employers to unions in return for surrendering employee entitlements such as penalty rates.
