Fair Work Commission considers a work-from-home request in Karlene Chandler v Westpac Banking Corporation [2025] FWC 3115

A recent decision provides some guidance as to how the Fair Work Commission may deal with flexible working arrangement requests under its new arbitral powers.  

The full impact of section 323 of the Fair Work Act is yet to be realised 

A seemingly small and simple section of the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) (FW Act) is having a big impact.  

Changes coming for non-compete clauses  

The federal government has announced that non-compete clauses for employees earning below the high-income threshold will be banned from 2027.
