How can we help you?

We are able to advise you on a range of employment and IR issues, including:

  • Do you need to speak to an employee about their performance, but you are not sure what to say? Or, do you need to determine whether an employee’s conduct or behaviour is inappropriate, amounts to bullying, or warrants disciplinary action, including termination?

     

    Obtaining our advice early in the process can save you time and money when it comes to dealing with poor performance, inappropriate behaviour and misconduct in the workplace.

  • Breaking up is hard to do – even in the work context. If you are considering dismissing an employee, or rationalising your workforce, then speak to us first to ensure:

    • the dismissal is procedurally fair
    • the decision to dismiss is not for an unlawful reason, such as the employee’s age, disability or because they exercised, or proposed to exercise, a workplace right
    • in the case of redundancy, you have met your obligations, including any consultation and redeployment obligations that apply.

  • Just received an unfair dismissal claim or general protections claim from the Fair Work Commission? You can depend on us to help you:

    • Understand and respond to the claim
    • Represent you during the conciliation process
    • Defend the claim to hearing, if necessary.

  • Need help interpreting an award, enterprise agreement, the National Employment Standards (NES) or to resolve a workplace grievance or industrial dispute? We have the skills and experience you need to help you interpret the relevant industrial and legislative instruments, investigate grievances, and if necessary, respond to, and resolve, a dispute.

  • Keeping on top of your obligations regarding award, legislative and policy obligations, can be tedious. We help you take the guess work out of:

    • meeting your obligations, reviewing employment contracts and company policies, and help you achieve, and promote, a culture of compliance
    • ensuring, in the case of your enterprise agreement, that it complies with the requirements of the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) before it is put to a vote.
