HR Compliance

In the world of business you need to know lots of stuff. Unfortunately many business owners and managers don’t know what they need to know with regards to people management and legislation.

 

Currently Fair Work Australia regulates employment across Australia including terms and conditions and each state also have their own Occupational Health & Safety regulations that must be complied with.

 

‘I didn’t know’ is not an excuse for failing to comply with your legal obligations as an employer. The costs involved of non-compliance can be excessive and include fines and back-pay orders as well as the cost of having a demotivated team of employees.

Things that might be causing non-compliance in your business include:

 

• Incorrect rates of pay and other employment terms & conditions
• Non-compliant employment contracts
• Limited knowledge of the 10 National Employment Standards and how they apply to your business
• Understanding of Flexible Work Requests and new Parental Leave opportunities
• No understanding of what to do when you need to formally discipline someone
• Terminating an employee
• Policies required by law to be in your business

A simple HR Audit will usually uncover the areas you are non-compliant in, and in most cases remedies can be swift and low cost. Contact us today to organise an HR Audit or a training workshop on your obligations for the leaders in your business!
