From 1 July, hospitality businesses are navigating a wave of significant workplace and regulatory changes.
In this episode of the Back of House Podcast, Luke Butler is joined by workplace relations expert Kate Hemat-Siraky to unpack what these changes mean for hospitality operators.
Together, they discuss Payday Super, award wage increases, merchant fee reforms, changes to sponsored employee salary thresholds, and the practical steps businesses can take to prepare, remain compliant and minimise risk.
Kate also shares the Award Finder tool from Worksauce, a practical resource to help employers understand their award obligations: https://awardfinder.worksauce.com.au/
