The Fair Work Commission will commence a review of part-time employment in 2025. FWC president Adam says it will examine daily and weekly minimum hours of work for part-time workers, and the circumstances in which working hours may be altered. Meanwhile, the union movement will seek restrictions on part-time employment. This includes minimum shifts of four hours for such workers; at present some awards provide for minimum shifts of no more than two hours for part-time and casual workers. Unions will also push for a requirement that part-timers receive 28 days’ advance notice of rosters changes, and that any such changes must be made with mutual agreement.
