We don’t need new laws

that mean you could

be fired unfairly

Students are one group of people that will be particularly badly affected.

One of the changes likely to have a significant impact on the working conditions and pay of students is the extension of the 90-day ‘fire-at-will’ legislation to cover all workplaces. That will mean any employee in their first 90 days of employment can be fired without reason, or for a bad reason.

Other changes could reduce the leave and pay students receive while working during public holidays and changes to personal grievance laws that make it easier for employers to sack workers unfairly. Students in precarious and part time jobs are most likely to suffer if these new laws are introduced.
