6 New section 67BA inserted (Review of operation of section 67A)

(1)
The Minister must, as soon as is practicable, after 3 years following the commencement of the Employment Relations (Trial Periods) Amendment Act 2023, require a report to be prepared on the operation and effects of section 67A, in particular any effects on outcomes for workers in employment.

Explanatory note
This Amendment Paper amends the Employment Relations (Trial Periods) Amendment Bill. It ensures that the proposed amendment made by the Bill is subject to a review in 3 years’ time to investigate the impact of trial periods in employment agreements.
Evidence so far shows that there is extremely limited evidence to prove the case for trial periods. If we agree that policy must be based on evidence, then we must commit to having the policy retained on an evidential platform.
