Our aim when handling workplace disputes is to work quickly and responsively with the parties to secure an amicable and workable resolution before a dispute adversely affects other people in the workplace. 

 

With so many recent changes and more to come, it is important for both employers and employees to understand the workings of our industrial laws and methods to prevent costly and time- consuming disputes. 

 

We can review and prepare employment contracts, a service which can go a long way to prevent needless disputes due to a lack of certainty in the terms of a person's employment. 

 

We can advise employers and employees on confidentiality provisions in employment contracts; advise employers on overtime obligations; advise employers on potential liability for underpayment of entitlements where wages are otherwise paid over the award; advise employers and employees on restructuring and rights on redundancy; assist employers to properly deal with employee discipline and dismissal procedures; advise outgoing and incoming business owners regarding continuation of employee entitlements; and assist employers to implement anti-discrimination and anti-sexual harassment policies.
