Workplace Law Compliance

As an employer, your business is required to comply with all relevant workplace laws. This includes providing employees with their minimum employment entitlements in accordance with applicable legislation and industrial instruments such as modern awards and enterprise agreement.

Increasingly, employers of all sizes find themselves struggling with the complexities of the Australia employment and workplace relations system and are self-reporting failures in their compliance obligations, or being found by regulators such as the Fair Work Ombudsman to have failed to comply with those obligations.

Failure to comply with your obligations may result in significant underpayments to current and former employees (creating adverse financial outcomes for your business), or have a detrimental impact on the reputation of your business or your relationship with the affected individuals. It could also lead to prosecution and/or significant monetary penalties being imposed on you or your business by the courts.

At MV Law, our experienced industrial relations and employment lawyers can help you understand what your obligations are as an employer and put in place measures to ensure that you are meeting those obligations.
