Fair Work Regulations 2009

If an inspector reasonably believes that a person has committed 1 or more contraventions of a particular civil remedy provision, the inspector may give to the person an infringement notice relating to the alleged contravention or contraventions.

An infringement notice must be given within 12 months after the day on which the contravention or contraventions are alleged to have taken place.

This regulation does not authorise the giving of 2 or more infringement notices to a person in relation to contraventions of a particular civil remedy provision that:

allegedly took place on the same day; and

allegedly relate to the same action or conduct by the person.

An inspector must not give an infringement notice in respect of a contravention if the Fair Work Ombudsman has accepted an enforceable undertaking from the person under section 715 of the Act in relation to the relevant civil remedy provision.
