Employment Law Workshop – Employment Contracts and Policies

Including Key Changes following the Federal Election

Employing staff is one of the most important things a business does. Getting the right people and having a common understanding of what is expected from the start is essential for the whole employment relationship.

In our upcoming workshop, Employment Law experts Dominic Russell and Shanni Zoeller will cover off the essentials when it comes to contracts and policies in the workplace. They will also discuss the latest developments as a result of our recent change in Federal Government. More specifically, Dominic and Shanni will workshop:

• Contracts: regulating the relationship (and their relationship to the NES, enterprise agreements and modern awards)
• Is the person a permanent or a casual employee, and what difference does it make?
• Issues in executive employment contracts
• Recent developments in the law for independent contractors
• Policies: have you got the basics covered, without promising too much?
• Communicating, changing and enforcing policies
• Key changes following the Federal election and what business can expect moving forward
