Employment Contract Review
While there are a range of minimum employee entitlements that are protected by law, it is also recommended that you have a written contract of employment that protects both your business and your employees by setting out clearly the parties’ rights and obligations (including those rights and obligations in addition to the protected minimum employee entitlements).
It can also minimise the risk of a later dispute about an employee’s terms and conditions of employment.
At MV Law, our experienced lawyers can help you to understand your obligations as an employer and create tailored employment contracts for your business. The employment contracts will be specifically designed to meet your business’ unique needs and also comply with the workplace laws that apply to your business or industry. And if there is a dispute about an employee’s terms and conditions of employment, we can work with you to devise an efficient and cost-effective strategy for resolving the dispute.
We can also provide you with advice in relation to the terms and conditions of engagement for workers other than employees (for example, contractors or volunteers) that are appropriate to the needs of your business, and draft agreements to give effect to those arrangements.
For employees, we can help you to understand your rights and obligations under your employment contract, whether it be in relation to your current role or a future role that you are considering.
The MV difference
MV Law’s experienced lawyers can help you with all aspects of written contracts of employment along with providing additional protections such as:
- properly identifying your business’ confidential information and preventing your staff from improperly using or disclosing that information during and after their employment
- protection from staff taking your business’ intellectual property and/or clients and customers when they leave
- allowing you to suspend staff in certain circumstances
- the ability to offset payments made to an employee in excess of award entitlements, and
- allowing you to change an employee’s role, duties or responsibilities as the needs of the business change.
No matter the size of your business or the industry in which you work, our experienced lawyers take the time to fully understand the intricacies and nuances of your particular business. We can then work with you to develop employment contracts that will protect your business, establish clear guidelines and set the foundation for a good working relationship with your employees.
By allowing us to develop an ongoing relationship with you, we can become an extremely cost-effective resource. Once we understand your business, we work with you as your HR partner, and many of your questions or issues can be solved on-the-spot in a short phone call or single meeting with our experienced lawyers.
