The Fair Work Commission has determined that it will vary the Hospitality Award to improve flexibility of the award during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. The determination inserts a temporary new Schedule, which will apply from an employee’s first full pay period on or after 24 March until 30 June 2020. The Fair Work Commission may also extend the operation of Schedule L beyond this date, if necessary.
Temporary Changes
Schedule L adds award flexibility during the coronavirus outbreak for:
- employees’ classifications and duties
- full-time and part-time employees’ hours of work
- directions to take annual leave.
