Book excerpt: The Protection of Employee Entitlements in Insolvency: An Australian Perspective is the first detailed analysis of the law and policy dealing with employee entitlements such as wages, leave and redundancy payments that are threatened when companies fail. Although Australia has a government-funded safety-net scheme, currently known as the Fair Entitlements Guarantee, it doesn't cover all lost entitlements for all workers. Some argue that the scheme removes any incentive for companies to make adequate provision for their employees' entitlements, increasing the burden on the taxpayer. As well as investigating ways to safeguard the entitlements of employees that are presently lost through the improper behaviour of directors, The Protection of Employee Entitlements in Insolvency covers the history of Australia's present system and comprehensively sets out the avenues available to assist employees to recover their entitlements. It also canvases what might be done in the future to improve the protection of employee entitlements in Australia when companies become insolvent.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This article gives an overview of the enforcement by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) and the Fair Work Ombudsman (FWO) of laws for the protection of the entitlements of employees of insolvent corporate employers. It begins by explaining the types of actions available under the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), including provisions inserted in 2000 specifically designed to protect employee entitlements in the context of corporate restructuring and insolvency. It looks at ASIC's response to this legislation and what the Gillard Government proposed as part of its 'Protecting Workers' Entitlements' package, announced prior to the 2010 federal election. The article then considers the actions of the FWO in prosecuting corporate employers and their officers for underpayment and non-payment of entitlements under the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth), and whether more could be done. It concludes with some thoughts about overcoming the difficulties faced by ASIC and FWO.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyses corporate rescue laws, processes and policies prescribed in corporate insolvency or bankruptcy laws, and employment laws of the UK and the US, with a particular focus on how extant employee rights are treated when a debtor employer initiates corporate insolvency proceedings. The commencement of formal insolvency proceedings by an employer affects employees’ rights and interests. Employment laws seek to protect employees’ rights and interests, while insolvency laws seek to promote corporate rescue, which may entail workforce changes. Consequently, this creates a tension between whose interest insolvency law should give primacy of protection. The book analyses how corporate rescue processes such as administration, pre-pack business sales, company voluntary arrangements, receivership and liquidation impact employee rights and protection during corporate rescue proceedings in both jurisdictions. It goes on to address how the federal system of government in the US and the diffusion of power between federal and state law jurisdictions impact a uniform code of employee protection during Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganisation proceedings. The book considers how an interpretative approach to law (Dworkin’s Interpretative Theory of Law) may be used to balance both employee protection and corporate rescue laws during corporate insolvency in the UK and the US. Of interest to academics, students and employment law practitioners, this book examines the tension between corporate rescue laws and employment protection laws during corporate insolvency in the US and the UK and how this tension may be remedied or balanced.

This book was released on 2011-04 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this study is to critically analyse the effectiveness and adequacy of the Australian General Employee Entitlements Redundancy Scheme (GEERS) in providing protection for employee entitlements in the event of corporate insolvency. It surveys alternative models for protection of employee entitlements proposed and considered by the Howard Conservative Coalition Government (1996-2007) as well as alternative proposals from the then Australian Labor Party opposition. It includes a discussion of the Australian trade union advocated scheme, known as the National Entitlement Security Trust (NEST). GEERS is also evaluated against international models from developed and developing economies. This study concludes that the current regime of employee entitlement safeguards against corporate insolvency in Australia lacks a holistic approach and revision of the scheme is justified having regard to international benchmarks and conventions and impending industrial law challenges. In arriving at this conclusion this study makes the case for revision of GEERS and provides the essential elements of a revised scheme.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the economic shocks of 2007/08 a spotlight has been thrown on how best to support effective business rescue and employment protection. However, business rescue and employment protection often tend to conflict in law and policy. Employees attached to the sale of a business often represent a liability by reducing the business's intrinsic value and deterring business acquisitions in view employment liabilities that transfer by operation of the Acquired Rights Directive. As such, a balance must be sought between the conflicting policy objectives of business rescue and employment protection. This book presents an investigation based on a comparative legal historical analysis of the approaches taken to balancing employment protection and business rescue in the United Kingdom and France, chosen due to their legal and political influence in the EU and their archetypically different legal systems. This approach is useful as a background to future reform efforts as it explains how particular jurisdictions might receive and then implement such reforms given the underlying aims of business rescue and employment protection policies.
