The National Employment Standards (NES) consist of 11 minimum employment conditions that all employees in Australia are entitled to receive.
These standards include provisions for annual leave, maximum weekly hours of work, parental leave, and redundancy pay.
For example, under the NES, employees are entitled to 4 weeks of paid annual leave per year, promoting work-life balance and employee wellbeing.
The NES serves as a foundation for employee rights in Australia and ensures that all workers have access to essential benefits.
