Employment documentation
Clear communication is at the heart of any relationship. When it comes to the workplace, it is important that both employers and employees are on the same page from the outset. In many cases, proactive communication ensures that potential issues can be addressed before they arise.
Employment agreements
The employment agreement sets the tone for the employment relationship and the contractual entitlements. We can provide:
- Comprehensive employment agreements that are tailored to the type of employment, the specific role and the business
- Advice on compliance and specific clauses that manage issues or concerns proactively to protect the business in the areas you need it most
- Advice on contractual entitlements, variations and changes to employment agreements and enforceability
Policies and handbooks
Policies codify workplace practices and ensure that expectations are clear. It takes out the guesswork when it comes to workplace processes and employee behaviour while leaving room to grow and change with the business. We can provide:
- Bespoke policies that are tailored to your business needs. The most common policies we recommend are bullying and harassment, health and safety, drug and alcohol and company vehicle or driving policies
- Advice on current policies and compliance
Independent contractor agreements
Contractual relationships are distinct from employment relationships, and the contractual agreement should reflect that.
We can help draft or advise on the terms and conditions specific to contractors including the validity of terms, the scope of restraints and the status of employment.
Other employment documentation
There is a range of different documentation that can be appropriate in different workplace issues. This may include:
- Letter of offer
- Variation of employment terms
- Bonding agreements and reimbursement for training
- Service tenancy agreements
Preparing and reviewing employment documentation can be daunting and stressful.
We can help you ensure that your documentation is compliant and tailor your terms to best protect your business.
