Australian Business Lawyers advises a wide range of employers on all aspects of employment law issues, including:
Workplace Audits
We offer a range of workplace audits for use by employers to diagnose areas of risk and improvement in the management of human resources.
Our audits deal with:
We assist employers in the drafting of simple letters of engagement, through to the preparation of employment contracts for chief executives. In addition, we can advise and draft, where required, policies and procedures documents in relation to matters such as occupational health and safety, harassment, drugs and alcohol, and discipline.
Dismissals and Redundancies - Advice and Representation for
Employers
Each of our professional staff provide day to day advice on performance and disciplinary matters. Depending upon the complexity of the matter and the requirements of the client, the advice is provided over the phone, in person, or in writing.
Where a matter results in a claim for unfair dismissal, we commonly represent clients in such matters. Year after year, our professional staff represent hundreds of clients in unfair dismissal proceedings in jurisdictions throughout Australia. The vast majority of those proceedings are settled with an outcome commercially advantageous to our clients (recognising the nature of the legislation and the tribunals).
We also advise and represent employers about other employment claims which may arise from the termination of employment, including complaints under anti-discrimination laws, common law actions and unfair contracts proceedings.
Enforcement of Restraints/Confidentiality Clauses and Agreements
We assist employers to prepare post-employment restraints and confidentiality arrangements and, when necessary, to enforce such arrangements.
