A Full Bench of the Fair Work Commission has today issued its decision in the Working from home – Clerks – Private Sector Award 2020 major case (AM2024/34).
On 29 August 2024, the Commission commenced a new matter on its own initiative to develop a working from home term in the Clerks – Private Sector Award 2020 (Clerks Award). The matter was foreshadowed in the Final Report of the Modern Awards Review 2023-24.
A Full Bench comprising Justice Hatcher, Deputy President O’Neill and Commissioner McKinnon has decided to change the Clerks Award to include a working from home provision. A draft determination containing the proposed provision has been published for comment.
Next steps
Interested parties are invited to make submissions on the draft determination by 5 pm (AEST) on Thursday 17 September 2026.
