Re: General Thoughts: Business Studies

EEO promotes access and equality in achieving the same level of employment as other australians. B looks fairly correct

True.

But that is before employment.

Re: Not hard?

Im not sure i think it was FWA also.

dam i put common law T.T

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_Work_Australia

The answer IS common law. I was also about to put FWA but look at the syllabus. Employment relations. The heading is "legal framework of employment relations", first dot point "the employment contract - common law (rights and obligations of employers and employees), statutes, awards, agreements."

For everyone stressing out over that question it's common law. Most people at my school put that as well. And it's directly from the syllabus.

Re: General Thoughts: Business Studies

was the answer for this question a or b?

Riley has 150 employees.She is preparing a report outlining her companys plans to ensure women have better access to senior positions. Which workplace issue is Riley addressing?
a) anti discrimination
b) EEO
c) OH&S
d) workers compensation

I put A but some people are saying B. I still think it's A because from what I know, EEO is only applicable in the recruitment process so they can't discriminate against any applicant and must provide equal employment opportunities for everyone. Reason I put A was because the Anti-Discrimination Act 1977 I believe included previous legislation regarding race, religion, gender etc (that's all I remember from memory). Still the only question I'm not 100% right about.

Re: General Thoughts: Business Studies

I don't think so tbh mate.

EEO - Equal Employment Opportunity --> basically to ensure that when in the employment process, certain characteristics don't hinder one's chances.

It's clear from the question that the women were already employed as Riley was trying to 'ensure women have better access'.

This.

Re: General Thoughts: Business Studies

It is common law, FWA doesnt do shit except if employees start complaining, besides, the "act in good faith and use care and skill stuff" has always been set down by precendent, therefore common law
ALSO EEO is the correct answer, in business you should treat women as equally as men and EEO promotes equality so women can have opportunities

you sure!?

Re: General Thoughts: Business Studies

the sylabus dot point says "Common Law (rights and obligations of employers and employees)" and the question said "...is it the resposnsibility of employees..." looks like a clear allusion tot he common law section of the syl
anyway in legla we laernt that FWA is a body that oversees the implementation of the FWA act and the NES and looks into complaints, it itself doesnt create obligations for employees but it enforces them
so really" under common law it is the responsibility of employees to use care and skill in work activities, an obligation enforced and over watched by FWA"
