Regulated labour hire – same job, same pay laws have commenced

As we have previously let you know, the Federal Government has tabled the Fair Work Legislation Amendment (Closing Loopholes) Bill 2023 (Cth), which has been referred to the Senate Education and Employment Legislation Committee due to report back on 1 February 2024. However, in a surprise early Christmas present the Federal Government had agreed to split the Bill and as a result the regulated labour hire reforms have now been passed by both Houses of Parliament and have become law.
