Employers have been taken by surprise by the scale of the Victorian economic closures announced on Sunday and are warning that some of the government's orders could be impossible to meet

Business leaders are seeking an urgent fix to Victorian rules that have sparked anger and chaos among employers trying to deal with orders to shut down or curtail their operations.

After a flurry of phone calls, the Business Council of Australia secured a commitment from Mr Pallas to hold a meeting. Mr Frydenberg held phone hook-ups on Tuesday night with about 85 chief executives from the BCA, at least two dozen leaders from the Australian Industry Group and more than 500 members from the Victorian Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

"For the construction industry the current rules are simply not viable, they could lead to projects stalling and potentially substantial job losses. The industry needs flexibility on workplace staffing limits to protect the 1.2 million tradies and other workers who rely on the sector for a job." Industry bodies and business groups were swamped with complaints that the state government-run Business Victoria website was down for most of the morning when thousands of bosses and workers attempted to download worker permits.
