Instead, the Governor-General must formally \"proclaim\" (announce) the start date. Without this document, the workplace law changes contained in those six schedules would remain dormant and unenforceable.\n\n**Who is affected:**\nEmployers, employees, and unions covered by the Fair Work Act 2009—specifically anyone impacted by the amendments contained in Schedules 3 through 8 (which typically cover areas like industrial action rules, Fair Work Commission powers, or workplace rights, depending on the content of those specific schedules)."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/fair-work-amendment-proclamation-2012","history":"/api/acts/fair-work-amendment-proclamation-2012/history","analysis":"/api/acts/fair-work-amendment-proclamation-2012/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/fair-work-amendment-proclamation-2012/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/fair-work-amendment-proclamation-2012/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/fair-work-amendment-proclamation-2012/documents"}}
