Entitlement Claims, including Pay, Leave and Flexible Working Arrangements
Increasingly, employers of all sizes are facing challenges navigating the complexities of employment and workplace relations laws, particularly regarding a wide range of employee entitlements. Regulators such as the Fair Work Ombudsman are actively identifying and addressing instances where businesses fail to meet their legal obligations.
Non-compliance can lead to significant underpayments to current and former employees, resulting in adverse financial consequences for your business. It can also damage your company’s reputation and harm relationships with affected staff. In severe cases, failure to comply may expose you or your business to criminal prosecution and substantial monetary penalties imposed by the courts.
At MV Law, our experienced industrial relations and employment lawyers are here to help you fully understand your obligations as an employer and implement robust measures to ensure ongoing compliance and mitigate risks.
