RECOMMENDATIONS

Recommendation 1

2.33       The Committee recommends that the Commonwealth Government revise the deeming provisions in the bill to ensure that these provisions apply to all outworkers in the TCF industry, including those operating under a corporate structure.

Recommendation 2

2.49       The Committee recommends that the bill is amended to:

• remove the requirement of a TCF outworker to take "reasonable steps" to recover unpaid amounts from a responsible entity and instead require that a TCF outworker believes an entity is an indirectly responsible entity; and
• require an entity to pay an unpaid amount unless the entity satisfies a court that it is:
  • not an indirectly responsible entity; or
  • not liable to pay the unpaid amount; or
  • not liable to pay the unpaid amount in full. 

Recommendation 3

2.60     The Committee recommends that, subject to the foregoing recommendations, the bill be passed.
