This proclamation activates specific changes contained in Schedule 1 of that Act, likely affecting how employers can dismiss employees and the rights workers have when terminated.\n\n**Who issued it:**\n- Signed by the Governor-General (Peter Hollingworth) on 29 August 2001\n- Counter-signed by Tony Abbott (then Minister for Employment, Workplace Relations and Small Business)"}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/workplace-relations-amendment-termination-of-employment-act-2001-proclamation-29-08-2001","history":"/api/acts/workplace-relations-amendment-termination-of-employment-act-2001-proclamation-29-08-2001/history","analysis":"/api/acts/workplace-relations-amendment-termination-of-employment-act-2001-proclamation-29-08-2001/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/workplace-relations-amendment-termination-of-employment-act-2001-proclamation-29-08-2001/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/workplace-relations-amendment-termination-of-employment-act-2001-proclamation-29-08-2001/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/workplace-relations-amendment-termination-of-employment-act-2001-proclamation-29-08-2001/documents"}}
