Navigating the complexities of the Timber Industry Award can be challenging, even for the most experienced employers or payroll officers. With unique clauses and regulations different from other awards, it’s no surprise that many FTMA Members are still getting caught out. To help you stay compliant and ensure you’re getting things right, the FTMA has partnered with HRAnywhere to bring you an exclusive webinar designed specifically for our members.
This FTMA Members Only webinar will take place on Tuesday, 18 March at 2pm, and will be presented by Michael from HRAnywhere, a trusted HR expert with a deep understanding of the timber industry.
What Will the Webinar Cover?
The webinar will provide a comprehensive overview of the Timber Industry Award, focusing on the key areas that often cause confusion for employers. Some topics that Michael will explore in detail include
- Normal Working Hours – Understand how to structure standard working hours for employees and avoid unintentional breaches of the award.

- Personal Leave – Did you know employees can legally cash out their personal leave in some cases? This session will explain the rules and how to handle such requests correctly.
