Fair Work Commission
From today, 1 July 2024, we have a new ground on which we can issue an exemption certificate.
An exemption certificate allows a permit holder to enter a workplace or business premises without prior notice if they are investigating a suspected contravention. We can now issue an exemption certificate if:
- the suspected contravention involves the underpayment of wages to a member of the union who works on the premises, and
- we reasonably believe that advance notice of the entry would hinder an effective investigation.
