Inside IR: The Australian Industrial Relations Podcast - Episode 12 Top 6 IR cases of H1 2023

Industrial relations gurus Sophie Beaman and Rohan Doyle break down the practical lessons for IR and HR practitioners from the top six IR cases handed down in the first half of 2023 – the cases you need to know, but might have missed.

Knowing the ins and outs of cases such as these enables practitioners to maximise the opportunities and reduce the threats presented by the Australian IR system. Tune in and hear Sophie and Rohan answer a range of interesting questions, such as:

• How might an employer go about ending bargaining in circumstances where it can’t reach agreement on the appropriate wage increases?
• How might employers go about reducing ambiguity and uncertainty in their enterprise agreement terms?
• How relevant is inflation and the maintenance of real wages when the Fair Work Commission is arbitrating wage outcomes?
• Can you ‘cool off’ industrial action whilst waiting for your intractable bargaining declaration to be heard?
• What happens if an employer makes a mistake in the description it provides to its employees about their existing conditions, when explaining the impact of a proposed new enterprise agreement?
