Same job, same pay: A matter of fairness or a 'dangerous' attack on business?

The concern is that some companies bring labour hire workers in, and those workers are paid below what ordinary employees are entitled to under their enterprise agreement.

The government wants to obligate employers to ensure the wages workers are receiving are the same as they would be entitled to as an ordinary employee in the business they're working in. The laws will just ensure labour hire workers are paid at least what an ordinary employee would be entitled to under an enterprise agreement, before those additional factors are considered."There's lots of legitimate uses for labour hire. Undercutting pay is not one of them," he said.

They are worried about companies getting bogged down in lengthy disputes about how two people with the "same job" should be compared, and how the "same pay" will be measured. Given the laws are still being consulted on and drafted, it's possible those questions will be addressed.Part of the reason business groups have launched their campaign early is the laws could see a fairly smooth run through parliament.
