Employees
Major changes in the area of industrial relations means that this is an area
that will be under heavy scrutiny now.
Do you currently follow the laws correctly in hiring and firing? Are your
company policies in line with new OH & S requirements? Could you be using a
longer probationary period? What systems do you currently have in place that may
be infringing workplace surveillance laws, potentially exposing you to criminal
penalties?
Legal issues relating to employment are extremely confusing for any business
owner, with a wide ranging mix of commonwealth and state legislation, and
penalties for non-compliance including heavy fines, and even criminal
liability.
Access Legal has wide ranging experience in dealing proactively with
employment issues to ensure that the policies and procedures of the company are
well established and that all key staff are well aware of their obligations
under various legislative requirements.
Access Legal focuses on protecting your company against areas of exposure,
and also on working closely with you to get the most value out of your
employees. We have worked together with business owners on many projects
targeted at getting the most out of staff with the introduction into employment
contracts of key performance indicators, extended probationary periods where
legally permissible, and performance incentives to turn employee performance
into a factor of importance to the employee as much as the employer.
