The revised Employment Relations Bill will be presented in Parliament in August, Minister for Employment, Productivity and Workplace Relations, Agni Deo Singh has said in an address at the International Labour Conference in Geneva, Switzerland.
He said the bill has been in the making over the past two years.
“Fiji has made significant progress toward improving our labour laws,” said Mr Singh.
“We have successfully completed a comprehensive review of Fiji’s Employment Relations Act 2007.”
“This was not merely an administrative task, but our testament to genuine dialogue on work rights.”
“Currently, the revised Bill is being reviewed by the Office of the Solicitor General to ensure its legal integrity and compliance with international standards.”
“The Bill is anticipated for presentation to Fiji’s Parliament in August 2025, demonstrating our commitment to timely reforms that benefit both workers and employers.”
Mr Singh added the revised Act aims to enhance worker protections, promote fair employment practices, improve dispute resolution, and create a positive work environment.
