Employment Law Strategy

Based on the employment issues identified, our employment solicitors will provide advice and recommend the best way forward. We will work with you to develop a strategy that works best for you and your individual circumstances.

Formalise Resolving Employment Issues

Employment law matters can be resolved in many ways. Generally, law firms will recommend communicating with the other party to attempt to resolve the matter.

However, if an informal solution cannot be reached, a more formal approach may be needed. This could mean dismissing an employee, carrying out a workplace investigation or making or responding to an application to the Fair Work Commission.

Why should I hire an employment lawyer for professional advice?

Employment law is a complicated area of law. It is also a highly regulated area of law. This means that there are lots of things that employers and employees can and can’t do.

Poorly performing staff or lawsuits can be costly for employers. On the other hand, salary and wages is a main source of income for many Australian workers. This means that it is worth investing in professional legal advice.

An employment solicitor can help employers and workers understand their legal rights and obligations.

What is involved in workplace investigations?

Workplace investigations involve gathering information and making findings about whether things have or have not happened. Those findings are then reported to the employer who then uses that information to decide what to do next.

Does the Fair Work Act cover employment law?

The Fair Work Act is the main piece of legislation that covers employment law in Australia. There are lots of other laws and regulations that cover employment law. Contracts, Modern Awards and Enterprise Agreements are also important when it comes to employment law.

There are also court decisions that interpret law and explain similar legal issues and their outcome.

We use all of these tools, as well as our deep knowledge and experience, in providing our clients with strategic advice and progressing matters.
