Employment Law Workshop – Employment Contracts and Policies

Including Key Changes to follow the Federal Election

As the end of the financial year draws to a close, and the results of our Federal Election are soon to be revealed, it is timely that businesses review their contracts and policies to ensure they are up-to-date with the latest developments.

It’s likely many businesses are currently in the midst of performance appraisals and remuneration reviews, so we encourage you to use this time as an opportunity to review your contracts and ensure they correctly reflect the role and responsibilities held by the employee.

Join Employment Law experts Shawn Skyring and Shanni Zoeller in this practical and informative workshop where they will discuss:

• 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
