“Why can’t I work from home?”Dixon Appointments’ Temporary Employment Agreement includes an agreement not to undertake any work at home or at a work site other than the one nominated by Dixon Appointments.
“Why?” you ask?
We are committed to ensuring the health, safety and well-being of all of our employees…that’s you!

“Why do I have to take a lunch break?”Modern Awards dictate how and when meal breaks must be taken. Most Modern Awards require that employees take a minimum of a 30 minutes meal break after 5 hours of work.
