Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This Endorsement formally approves a Queensland declaration that Building Queensland is not a “national system employer” under the Fair Work Act, so federal workplace coverage does not apply to that employer once section 68 of the Building Queensland Act 2015 commences. It affects Building Queensland, its workers and contractors by shifting which industrial relations rules apply; the Minister endorses the State declaration under paragraph 14(4)(a) of the Fair Work Act, creating a legal change in compliance obligations and who enforces them.
