Employee Relations

Policies, Procedures & Contracts

Is your business adequately protected?

Your policies, procedures and contracts need to not only comply with the law, but should be user friendly, up-to-date and meet the needs of your business. It is important that expectations and obligations are managed and understood.

We can formulate and/or review your full suite of documents including, among others:

  • Workplace Policies and Procedures
  • Employment Contracts, Letters of Offer, Consultancy and Independent Contractor Agreements, Secondment Terms
  • Workplace Manuals and Codes of Conduct

Employee Performance Management

Counselling, Disciplinary Action, Termination
– are you ready?

Performance management does not lend itself to a “one size fits all” approach. It must be tailored to the needs of your business. We can provide you with practical advice and support to ensure your processes are both compliant and effective, and withstand the scrutiny of legal review.

We offer a range of services to deal with all manner of employment issues and disputes, including:

  • Counselling, Disciplinary and Termination Processes
  • Unfair Dismissals and General Protections Claims
  • Bullying, Harassment, Discrimination and Related Proceedings
  • Employment Contract Breaches
  • Legal Obligations and Entitlements

We can advise in the background or provide representation and advocacy in relevant tribunals, commissions and courts, as the circumstances may require.

Bullying, Harassment & Discrimination

Is prevention better than cure?

Without doubt, your business is well served in preventing claims before they arise. However, you must be prepared to deal with those that do.

Employers can be held accountable for acts occurring within the workplace, a concept itself which continues to expand with the advent of social media and varying business hours.

We are available to support your needs by providing:

  • Strategic Advice to minimise the potential for claims
  • Policy Formulation and Implementation designed to proactively identify and act on inappropriate behaviour, and channel complaints
  • Preventative Awareness Training
  • Incident Investigations
  • Advocacy and Representation
