SCHOOL students can still be employed for shifts of one and a half hours on school days, after an appeal of the rule was dismissed by the Federal Court.
The Shop, Distributive and Allied Employees’ Association sought judicial review of the rule made by Fair Work Australia.
Fair Work made the decision following an application by the National Retail Association and granted it on the basis that shifts shorter than three hours could only be worked by full-time high school students, rostered on between 3pm and 6.30pm.
In the Federal Court in Melbourne today, Justice Richard Tracey dismissed the union’s appeal.
