Our lawyers are able to advise you on all aspects of employment law including employment contracts, remuneration strategies, employment policies, human resources management and termination of employment. Effective management of these issues involves making the right decisions at every stage of the employment relationship from the initial interview to the end of an employee’s service. Our employment lawyers specialise in matters involving advice on employment contracts, awards and entitlements, performance management, business restructuring, redundancy and termination of employment (including unfair dismissal, unlawful termination and general protections claims).
Labour law issues are relevant to any business that has employees or contractors. This means that even if you are a sole trader or freelancer yourself, employment law will apply if you are hiring staff or working with contractors. Labour law deals with the legislation, administrative rules, precedents and procedures of governmental agencies, as well as the legal responsibilities and rights of workers, trade unions, and employers. The interplay between these elements can create complexities that require specialist employment lawyers. Working with a team of employment lawyers will ensure contracts, salary issues, award levels, legal obligations, and other procedures are set up and followed from the start, protecting your rights as an employer.
