Employment law covers a range of areas and can prove overwhelming to a non-lawyer. You need to have a sound understanding of how the law of contract and employment statutes intersect and inform your contractual and statutory rights and obligations.

So, our goal is to provide advice that is clear, timely and concise.

As one of the most trusted employment law firms in Sydney, we can explain how the law applies to your situation and your legal options in any employment law matter, including performance management, misconduct issues, unfit employees, and workplace disputes.

Drafting Employment Contracts and Other Legal Documentation
Learn More

Legally compliant employment contracts and related documents are critical to the success of your business. Think of an employment agreement and workplace policies as essential risk management tools.
Having a well-drafted employment contract establishes clarity right from the beginning of an employment relationship, clearly describing the employer’s powers and the employee’s duties.
Employment policies and procedures set the behavioural expectations for your workforce and provide guidance on processes such as taking leave, and resolving disputes. Some policies are vital for ensuring an employer’s compliance with laws relating to work, health and safety; discrimination; sexual harassment; and bullying.
Find out how our skilled drafting services can help promote good performance, develop a strong culture, and reduce your risks.

Employment Disputes
Learn More

Disputes with employees can be costly, distracting and stressful for management and employees alike. There’s huge variety of disputes that arise in the workplace, such as unfair dismissal claims, general protections claims, discrimination, sexual harassment, bullying, breach of contract, and many other types of workplace law disputes.

You can’t always avoid an employment dispute arising, but with the help of a global law firm network, you can promptly implement a strategy to resolve the problem and minimise disruption to your business.

Our employment lawyers have considerable experience in acting for clients in litigated disputes in courts and tribunals across Australia.

Workplace Investigations
Learn More

When a serious allegation is made in the workplace, such as sexual harassment, for example, it may be necessary to appoint an external investigator to determine the facts so you know what action to take.

Our team can appoint an investigator to conduct the investigation and then provide you with confidential legal advice on their findings once they are complete.

Our legal counsel can also advise on whistleblower complaints and coordinate an investigation that complies with whistleblower legislation.

Paylex
Learn More

In recent years, there has been a sharp public focus on employers who have underpaid staff or engaged in other unlawful behaviour.

Most compliance problems (such as unpaid wages) arise out of inadvertence and are not deliberate, but nonetheless pose a significant legal, financial and reputational risk to an organisation.

Paylex is a unique audit service offered by WilliamsonBarwick. A Paylex report can help your business proactively manage the risk of compliance issues.
