Business Law’s Employment Law team can draft and review your employment contracts, policies and procedures to ensure your business is following best practice documentation while keeping you up to date with any changes to legislation and awards. Their approach will help reduce the risk to your business and help you meet your various employment and legislative compliance obligations.
We review existing sets of contracts or can create a new set of customised contracts for your business, from apprentices all the way up to senior management and executives. This includes assistance with all the complex considerations for a written contract such as:
- Relevant modern awards which cover your workforce
- Arrangement of working hours (including Right to Disconnect) and pay structures
- Set off clauses for salaried employees or all-inclusive hourly rates
- Recommended modes of employment (e.g. full-time, part-time, casual, daily hire)
- Assistance with temporary contracts for fixed-term or project-based work
- Licence requirements (e.g. driver’s licence, working with children’s check)
- Provisions for leave entitlements under the National Employment Standards
- Protections for confidential information
- Protections for intellectual property
- Restraint of trade and non-solicitation clauses
