The individual employment relationship and the rights of individuals are of increasing prominence in the modern workplace, emphasising the importance of effective employment arrangements, policies and complaint and grievance mechanisms to achieve effective workplace outcomes and minimise the risk of legal disputes.
Employment law continues to evolve and to present challenges for employers in managing the employment relationship. Employment agreements and policies are now increasingly relied upon by both employers and employees to determine outcomes in the workplace. A well drafted employment contract can avoid disputes and align employee behaviour to corporate objectives.
The continual reforms in employment legislation have presented compliance issues for employers. Our Employment Law specialists are focused on the way legislation reform impacts on our clients’ businesses and review employment documentation and policies to ensure compliance.
Employment disputes are also frequently attracting media attention and our team is focused on achieving commercial, confidential and cost effective resolution of these disputes for our clients.
