Employment & Labour
We are committed to partnering with our commercial, not-for-profit and major government clients for their long-term success.
Our clients require prompt assistance, with a solution that demonstrates knowledge of their organisation. Our most common service is sounding board advice to HR Professionals within companies that need to head off a growing issue. That advice could be in relation to a performance management issue, a post-engagement restraint enforcement issue, the engagement of a new independent contractor, a workplace health and safety incident, an up-coming negotiation for a new enterprise agreement, or numerous other matters that may arise and affect a company’s workforce.
We receive the most satisfaction when we assist in creating a solution that avoids disruption, increases efficiency or improves the workplace’s culture. We recognise that litigation and industrial action can affect workplaces, if a battle must be waged, we will maximise the chances of success, but during the process we will not lose sight of the organisation’s key objectives.
Due to our high level of responsiveness, deep commercial understanding and ability to explain legal concepts clearly and concisely, our clients think of us as a valued part of their business, which is why so many of them have retained our services for years.
The areas in which we can assist include EEO and discrimination, employment contracts, employment disputes & litigation, enterprise bargaining, flexible work requests, ill and injured workers, independent contractor agreements, industrial action, privacy, restraints, taxation & superannuation, training in workplace laws, unfair dismissals, underpayments, whistle-blowers, work health & safety and workplace investigations.
