commonplace in Australia. Most employees receive a letter from a new employer confirming the starting date, salary and general duties - the balance of the contract terms would be implied by law. (Please note that in Australia there is state/ territory legislation, which is often similar but not uniform. The Workplace Relations Act (WRA), is a national Act and the main legislative framework for the unionised workforce. For the most part, unionised full-time employees, (and in the state of Victoria, employees earning less than AUS $81,500 per annum), are subject to this Act in relation to the termination of employment. Relief can be obtained from the Australian Industrial Relations Commission, which is not a court, and in the first instance it will resort to formal conciliation. If employees are not covered by the WRA their local state or territory laws apply and in Victoria this means the common law).
