Question

Which employers does the WFA apply to?

Answer
The mandatory grievance-handling requirement under Section 27 applies to employers with 25 or more employees. The substantive anti-discrimination provisions apply to all employers. Employers with fewer than 25 employees are encouraged to prepare now, as the exemption threshold is subject to review within five years of the Act coming into force.
