Founder and managing director of workplace relations firm Employsure, Ed Mallett says, \u201cOur small business clients tell us that there\u2019s a lot of pressure, and that is where we can help SMEs prepare and understand what they need to do; to deal with these changes.\u201d<\/span> <img decoding=\"async\" style=\"padding: 10px;\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Ed-Mallett-e1559455412189.jpg\" width=\"450\" align=\"right\" hspace=\"10\" vspace=\"5\" \/><span style=\"color: #800000; font-size: 24px;\">SMEs may<\/span> <span style=\"color: #800000; font-size: 24px;\">initially face an overall increase in the cost of doing<\/span> <span style=\"color: #800000; font-size: 24px;\">business due to higher wage costs and competition for manpower from the larger firms. \u201cSome of our small business clients are considering reducing costs, increasing prices, reducing staff or reducing operating hours\u2026or a mixed approach to maintain current profitability,\u201d he said, pointing out that today\u2019s decision, \u201cHas a disproportionate impact on small business, because they have fewer variables that they can change to maintain profitability &#8211; can they really just add the extra staff cost to the price of your coffee, for example? Would customers accept that?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #800000;\">The yearly wage bill for Australian businesses could increase up to $2.2 billion and, \u201cMost SMEs won\u2019t be charging customers 3 percent extra from 1 July; but will need to come up with an extra $21.60 per week per employee, and many simply need support.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #800000; font-size: 24px;\">Did Labor\u2019s \u2018War oN Wages\u2019 campaign impact the FWC decision?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #800000; font-size: 24px;\">Labor\u2019s 2019 election campaign argued the laws of supply and demand in the labour market were broken; that the economy forces were not able to deliver appropriate wage rises for workers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #800000; font-size: 24px;\">In reaching their decision, the FWC said they considered economic standards, GDP growth, living standards, inflation, and the strong labour market.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #800000; font-size: 24px;\">While the dialogue on wages can be highly polarising, small business advocates claimed SMEs are already reducing the number of employees to keep up the rising costs of business. \u201cWages have been part of the national debate for<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #800000;\">the past few months and it\u2019s important to strike a balance between employees and employers.
