Summarily
* The Fair Work Ombudsman acknowledges that the inclusion of information marked with an asterisk (*) is not a requirement under the Fair Work Regulations 2009, effective 1 July 2009. This template is provided as a best practice model. An employer is not compelled to provide information outside the requirements contained in the record keeping provisions of the Fair Work Regulations 2009. The minimum record keeping requirements are contained in the Fair Work Regulations 2009. Any election made by the employee in relation to the fund into which superannuation contributions are made must be kept by the employer, along with a record of the date of the election.
Note: 1. All records must be retained for a minimum of 7 years from the date the employee ceases their employment or an alternation to the record is made, whichever occurs first. 2. Where there is a transfer of a business from the old employer to the new employer (e.g. the business changes hands), employee records must be transferred to the new employer for each transferring employee. 3. An employer must ensure that employee records are not, to the extent of their knowledge, false or misleading.
