Q&A: Implications of the Closing Loopholes Bill

The 'same job, same pay' provisions of the Closing Loopholes Bill, while "softened" from what was originally feared, will have "really profound effects" if passed in their current form, a lawyer says.

Topics covered in this Q&A include:

• expected and unexpected elements of the Bill;
• employers' increased compliance and administrative burden;
• areas of major concern;
• complexity and uncertainty around casuals and contracting;
• practical steps to take now; and more.
