Online Guide for Young Employees

Today sees the launch of the Workplace Authority's "What's the deal with workplace agreements?" interactive tutorial.

The head of Workplace Authority, Barbara Bennett, says "'What's the deal with workplace agreements?' is a versatile product that advises and supports young employees, be they at school and working on the weekend or working full time as an apprentice. It cuts out the jargon and gives young employees the facts through realistic situations so that they know where they stand when they enter a workplace agreement."

The guide provides factual information about agreement making, rights of young employees, as well as the responsibilities of their employers. It is best suited for 14-22 year olds and their parents.
