Employment Contracts

Looking For Lawyers to Help Draft Your Employment Contracts?

If you are an employer, documenting the employment relationship has never been more critical than it is now. That’s because correct employment documentation is the starting point for managing risk and ensuring that you are legally compliant with the National Employment Standards and Fair Work Act. 

So, what documents are we referring to? Well, it is everything ranging from employment agreements to staff policies and procedures, and also covers  performance management letters and notices of termination. 

When it comes to an employment agreement, the key is to see it as an instrument that protects your business or organisation. So, it is critical that employment concerns such as probation periods, salary, commission agreements, termination rights, confidentiality provisions and intellectual property rights are covered and detailed properly. 

Beyond that, staff policies and procedures need to be drafted clearly so that all your employees understand their roles, responsibilities, and obligations. Your policies should be drafted in a manner that provides consistent guidelines, a degree of flexibility and practicality; and should be customised to reflect the unique nature of our organisation. 

Lastly, when it comes to warning letters, it is vital that they are drafted in a way that encourages improvement and protects you from employment claims. The same applies to termination letters. You need to approach the situation with a degree of sensitivity and ensure that all the documentation complies with fair procedure. 

Our team of experienced employment lawyers can help you draft contracts that are fair and compliant with the law, protecting your business interests while ensuring your employees are treated fairly.
