We can set minimum standards for regulated workers. This can include employee-like workers and road transport contractors.
The standards we set can be in the form of:
- minimum standards orders (which are legally binding) OR
- minimum standards guidelines (which are non-binding).
The order or guidelines may provide minimum standards on matters including:
- payment terms
- insurance
- other work standards.
We can also vary or revoke minimum standards orders and guidelines. We are required to undertake a consultation process with affected entities before we make a minimum standards order. See How we consult about regulated worker minimum standards.
