EMPLOYMENT LAW

Employment Contracts, Enterprise Agreements and Unfair Dismissal

Whether an employer or employee, you need up-to-date advice on workplace legislation and the laws covering employment and industrial relations, to make sure your operations are fair, safe and lawful.

We can advise you on all aspects of workplace legislation, from compliance with the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) and regulations to resolving disputes.

Hansons’ advisory legal services include:

  • advice on employment and executive contracts
  • advice on obligations, rights and responsibilities under the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth)
  • collective agreements relating to workplaces
  • development of human resource manuals and workplace policies
  • drafting and certification or registration of employment agreements
  • due diligence on employment law issues
  • employee benefits and other employment arrangements
  • employee share schemes
  • employment issues arising from transmission of businesses
  • negotiating workplace agreements
  • occupational superannuation
  • protecting confidentiality and IP in employment arrangements
  • negotiating with unions
  • industrial commission matters.

We also guide clients through disciplinary and performance management issues with employees from a legal perspective, and frequently act as a back-up for human resource departments.

On the contentious side, Hansons advise employers, and individual employee clients, on a range of issues, including disputes involving:

  • contract claims
  • enforcement of restrictive covenants
  • discrimination, harassment and other statutory claims.
  • wrongful and unfair dismissals
  • WHS claims and defence
