The end of June wave of legislative changes rolls on.
Today, an amendment to the Competition Act comes into force that may have significant implications for employers and employees.
Basically, wage-fixing and ‘no compete’ deals between employers will now be on the same criminal level as price-fixing rather than only being under the civil law provisions of the act.
It will be interesting to see how this plays out, but it does send a strong signal.
I will buy a bottle of champagne for the first time this gets enforced. Hopefully it isn’t vinegar by the time I crack it :p
The pessimist in me says to plant some grapes, but here is hoping!
