Everyone knows the importance of getting the paperwork right the first time.

If you are engaging a new employee or contractor, a well drafted Employment Contract will help you protect your business and can strengthen your relationship with your staff. The Contract of Employment should identify and define each of the parties’ rights, obligations and the terms of employment or contract. By opening the lines of communication and knowing where you both stand from the beginning, issues that may have caused a dispute can be tackled up front and dealt with in an Employment Agreement.

The Fair Work System

When the Fair Work Act came into play in Australia on 1 July 2009, it brought with it widespread reforms and changes to Australia’s employment law. The Act established a new national ‘Fair Work’ system. Under the Fair Work system, 10 new minimum conditions (the National Employment Standards) were introduced. All new employers must abide by these standards. The Fair Work system also consolidated and modernised awards, now called ‘modern awards’, covered by the national workplace relations system.
