New rules prohibiting wage-fixing and no-poaching agreements kick in Friday in an effort to crack down on companies undermining competition at employees' expense.
The end of June wave of legislative changes rolls on.
Today, an amendment to the Competition Act comes into force that may have significant implications for employers and employees.
Basically, wage-fixing and ‘no compete’ deals between employers will now be on the same criminal level as price-fixing rather than only being under the civil law provisions of the act.
It will be interesting to see how this plays out, but it does send a strong signal.
