Did you know employers have to give every new employee a copy of the Fair Work Information Statement (the FWIS) before, or as soon as possible after, they start their new job?
The FWIS provides new employees with information about their conditions of employment regarding the following:
the National Employment Standards

The FWIS can be given to new employees:
in person
