“The commission has a number of functions, including in relation to the National Employment Standards, modern awards, enterprise agreements, workplace determinations, minimum wages and unfair dismissal,” the A-G said off-the-back of the appointment of Mr Furlong.
“The general manager assists the president of the commission, the Hon Justice Iain Ross AO, in ensuring that the commission performs its functions and exercises its powers.
“Mr Furlong has a strong commitment to continuing to improve the services the Fair Work Commission provides to the Australian community by better understanding and responding to the changing needs of employers, employees and their representatives.
