10% decline in turnover certificate
The requirements of the 10% decline in turnover certificate are outlined in section 789GDC of the Fair Work Act. To help legacy employers and eligible financial service providers, we’ve developed a template certificate that we consider meets the requirements of that section. Legacy employers and eligible financial service providers aren’t required to use this template.
