This bill establishes the Fair Work Commission to address workplace bullying and harassment. It prohibits workplace bullying, harassment, and retaliation, and requires employers to maintain a workplace free from such behavior. The bill outlines broad definitions of what constitutes bullying and harassment, provides remedies for targets of such behavior, and imposes liability on both employers and individuals who engage in the prohibited conduct. The bill also grants the Fair Work Commission enforcement powers, including the ability to investigate complaints, hold hearings, and issue orders. The statute of limitations for filing a complaint is 3 years, and claimants have the option to either file with the Commission or pursue private litigation.
