Your Guide to the Modern Award

Electrical contractors and other companies employing staff under the Electrical, Electronics and Communications Contracting Award will have access to a plain English guide to the Modern Award thanks to peak national industry body, the National Electrical and Communications Association (NECA).

NECA received funding for the Shared Industry Assistance Program (SIAP) managed by the Fair Work Ombudsman and launched the online webinars on 5 April 2011 on the NECA website.

NECA is the only national employer body federally registered with Fair Work Australia that has core coverage of the electrical and communications contracting industry.

The SIAP project involves two key resources for the electrical industry:

• A Practical Guide to the Modern Award and National Employment Standards that will provide a plain English explanation of the majority of the provisions of the Modern Award

• A digital video webinar on the Modern Award that will be available on the NECA website

How to get your free copy of the Guide?

If you are a NECA member a hard copy of the guide has been mailed to you. If you are not a NECA member or would like additional copies please visit the Modern Award Site and please add your details to the contact us form and NECA will arrange to send you a copy.
