Free online tools for food industry launched by Fair Work Ombudsman

Fair Work Ombudsman Nicholas Wilson said new web pages provide the two industries with direct and immediate access to detailed information on workplace laws.  The free documentation includes industry-specific information about pay rates, allowances, classifications, leave entitlements, apprenticeships and traineeships, uniforms and clothing, when to pay staff and a range of other topics.   

The Fair Work Ombudsman website also has pages dedicated to the cleaning, clerical, hair and beauty, horticulture, retail and security industries - and further industries will be progressively added.  

A new section at www.fairwork.gov.au/fastfood focuses on businesses covered by the Fast Food Award 2010, including those selling meals, snacks and/or drinks primarily for take-away or in food courts.  

Another at www.fairwork.gov.au/hospitality provides information on the three main Modern Awards covering the hospitality industry.

Wilson said “Most employers want to do the right thing by their employees and these resources will help them understand and comply with their obligations to staff.”

Matt Ouimet Taking over Cedar Fair - StupidGuestTricks.com

I'm cautiously optimistic about this. As a former Knott's employee, I've not been a fan of the way Cedar Fair does business, but I also worked for Disneyland when he was in charge there, and saw the changes he made to the resort after the years of neglect under Paul Pressler and Cynthia Harris. If anyone could make improvements to Cedar Fair, it'll be Matt Ouimet.
