EMPLOYMENT PRACTICE SERVICES

Only 14% of employers feel that they have an excellent understanding of their obligations under the Fair Work Act.  Australia’s workplace relations and safety systems can be confusing and very few employers, no matter how big or small, rarely get this minefield of employment legislation completely right. The Fair Work Act, National Employment standards and the Modern Award system are designed to govern how a business employs, how people are managed and how much they’re paid.

Over 54% of business owners facing unfair dismissal claims last year were unable to successfully defend themselves. Employment practices liability insurance claims are constantly on the rise, along with increased premiums placed on small business owners.
