The Fair Work Commission (FWC) has recently published its decision regarding the piece rate provisions.

The start date for the new provisions will be 28 April 2022.

This is earlier than what industry was hoping for, but later than what the unions had preferred.
There has also been some changes to the draft determination.

AUSVEG will provide further information on the outcome once it has reviewed the FWC decision in full.
AUSVEG was involved in the challenge through the FWC via the National Farmers’ Federation Horticulture Council.

Members can view the full decision from the FWC here.
