Employment contracts, contractor agreements, policies and procedures are essential to creating and managing a healthy work relationship between employers and employees (or contractors).
A well drafted employment contract, contractor agreement and policy and procedure will comply with the National Employment Standards (NES) and applicable modern award and clearly outline what is expected from each party when it comes to duties, remuneration, working hours, entitlements, representations and warranties, confidentiality, intellectual property, policies and procedures, suspension and termination, restraints and restrictions, disputes and grievances and more.
We are often instructed by our clients to prepare template employment contracts, contractor agreements and policies and procedures which can be used without the need to incur further legal fees. We also prepare bespoke/tailor-made employment contracts, contractor agreements and policies and procedures for specific business needs.
We have a wealth of experience in advising our clients in relation to employment law. This allows our clients to capitalise on opportunities, minimise risk so they can focus on developing employee incentives.
A fundamental understanding of the minimum employee entitlements set out in the National Employment Standards and modern awards is crucial to ensuring employers comply with minimum standards in the workplace.
We often assist clients who are shocked to learn that despite the terms of their employment contract, the NES and modern awards provide specific entitlements and requirements which cannot be varied. These entitlements can relate to minimum wage rates, leave, hours of work, penalty rates, overtime, casual rates, rest breaks, meal breaks, workplace rosters, allowances, flexible working arrangements, individual flexibility arrangements, employee entitlements on a transfer of business and uniform, vehicle and travel entitlements – just to name a few.
We understand that employment law is confusing for both employers and employees. That’s why we help our clients understand the rights and obligations set out in modern awards, national employment standards and the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth).
We pride ourselves on providing pragmatic advice. We help employees receive their minimum entitlements and employers achieve their desired business outcomes without ending up in a costly and time consuming employment dispute.
Employment law issues arise, and employment can end, for many different reasons. Whether through resignation, termination or redundancy, when employment comes to an end, employers must adhere to the rules of dismissal, notice and final pay to avoid claims of unfair dismissal, unlawful termination or discrimination.
While we appreciate the desire to resolve employment issues quickly, we often find that employers have great difficulty in understanding and managing the termination of employment. That’s why we provide our clients with pragmatic advice and workable solutions when it comes time to end employment.

We also frequently advise our clients in respect to termination of employment and redundancy so that they are equipped to make the right decision when ending employment or restructuring their business. This helps them ensure that they have accounted for the correct notice, final pay and employee entitlements.
If employment disputes are not resolved quickly and effectively, it is not unusual for employees to escalate the dispute to the Fair Work Commission, Fair Work Ombudsman or Australian courts and employers finding themselves needing to respond to a claim for underpayment of wages or other entitlements, unfair dismissal, unlawful termination, adverse action, bullying or discrimination.
