Essay question

Employer associations have been advocating for the reduction of penalty rates listed in Modern Awards. The Fair Work Commission will have decided its major ‘Penalty Rates case' in response to employer association arguments early in 2017. In your essay, firstly, analyse the advocacy of at least two employer associations around penalty rates in terms of their positon, reasoning and evidence; and, secondly, evaluate the implications of any reductions in penalty rates for employment growth and income equality.

Background

200300 Managing People at Work introduced you to employers' interests around the management of work and the employment relationship. In Enterprise Industrial Relations, we are asking you to go further, to look at employers' preferences for the regulation of work and the employment relationship so they can best pursue those interests. That is, what do employers want from an industrial relations system? Is it about cost-cutting and managerial prerogative? Does the current IR system encourage good HRM and high-performance work systems that underpin economic efficiency?

Employer associations and trade unions use rhetoric (‘spin') and ambit (IR jargon that means asking for more than you reasonably expect to get) to influence their members, tribunals, governments, and voters. This assignment invites you to dig below the surface of statements via a stakeholder analysis.

In employment relations, everything is connected to everything else. It is difficult to isolate particular factors and mark them separately e.g. it’s hard to make a persuasive argument with poor or slapdash referencing. It is hard to address all aspects of an argument if one’s writing and paragraphing is not sophisticated. This marking guide is to provide some guidance and feedback; it is not designed to be broken down to one or two marks here or there on particular categories but is more qualitative in nature. Further conversation and explanation may be useful to you; make an appointment with your tutor.
