Employment Law.

Workers, regardless of their position and nature of employment, are significant driving forces in a company. They are one of the greatest natural resources that a company has. As such, their preservation by maintaining a fair and harmonious workplace is crucial not only to boost productivity but also to contribute to the success of a business organisation. Australian employment laws are therefore crafted and implemented in order to balance the interests and protect the rights of both employers and workers. An in-depth understanding of these employment laws is a key tool in preventing workforce disputes, which an employment lawyer may be able to provide effectively.

Employment matters involve the rights of workers from hiring to firing (dismissal). Compliance of employers with industrial standards includes working conditions, working hours, wages, leave, occupational health and safety and other matters concerning workers’ rights such as discrimination, sexual harassment, workplace accidents, and superannuation.
