On-Demand Human Resources Advice
Understanding Each Workplace Right in the Fair Work Act
These workplace rights are based on the entitlements, protections and obligations that employees and employers have under Australian labour law. Understanding these rights, which include minimum wages, leave entitlements, workplace safety and protection from unfair dismissal, is essential to maintaining strong employer-employee relationships.
Need to hire your next team member but don't have the time?
We align with your core values and objectives to find the best possible fit for your role. Offering flexible options based on the role and your budget, we can be involved end-to-end, or just for the parts you need us for.
Modern Awards Interpretation and Application
We can fully support you through the process of understanding and implementing these awards effectively for equitable treatment of your employees. We can also keep you up-to-date on changes to maintain the compliant, consistent and fair application of awards.
There’s a lot to get your head around when it comes to staying compliant with employment laws. Our HR advice includes ongoing support to help you understand and apply the different types of employment classifications and entitlements. We can also double-check that your company’s contracts and payroll systems align with legal requirements and award conditions.
Employment classifications
- Full-time: Standard hours (usually 38 hours per week) with full entitlements and benefits.
- Part-time: Regular, guaranteed hours but fewer hours than full-time with pro-rata entitlements to leave and other employment benefits.
- Casual: Work as needed with no guaranteed hours. A higher hourly rate usually compensates for the lack of entitlements and benefits.
Entitlements
- Leave: Each type of leave (for example annual, sick, parental and carers leave) accrues differently for each employment classification.
- Pay rates: Base pay rates, overtime and penalty rates differ based on employment classifications and awards.
- Other benefits: These include superannuation, public holidays and industry-specific benefits.
Naturally, dealing with termination and redundancies, whether individual or organisational, can be a sensitive area. That’s where we come in. We can guide and support your company to manage such situations legally, ethically and with minimal disruption to your business and other employees.
Our team of expert consultants offer comprehensive HR advice on:
- Legal compliance with notice periods.
- Calculating severance pay.
- Developing clear procedures for consistency and fairness.
- Sensitive communication with employees.
- Calculating entitlements like redundancy pay and accrued leave.
- Offering post-termination support such as career counselling and references.
- Identifying and mitigating potential legal risks.
