Employment Law

With a fluctuating labour market and the recent changes in Employment Laws (e.g. abolition of AWA's), it is important to ensure that your Employment Contracts are legally sound. A well thought out and drafted Contract can be the difference between providing the right incentives to encourage key employees to expand your business as opposed to losing them in a bitter and often costly industrial dispute.

Many businesses do not realise that they have an Employment Contract, albeit unwritten, which is largely a construction of complex and overlapping awards, legislation and other industrial instruments. Often a business considers that a person that carries out work for them is an "independent contractor" when in fact they are an employee, or at least a contractor with legal rights akin to an employee.
