The Education and Workforce Committee is calling for submissions on the Employment Relations (Restraint of Trade) Amendment Bill.

A restraint of trade in an employment agreement stops an employee from working in their field or for a competitor after the employment has ended. The bill would prohibit the use of restraints of trade in employment agreements for employees who earn less than 3 times the minimum wage.

Make a submission on the bill by 11.59pm on Monday, 18 September 2023.
