Employment law in OZ is no joke

As an Industrial Relations enthusiast since 2011 and converted Tech HRIS compliance specialist since 2015, it scary to me that employers do not know where to start looking when employing their staff or auditing current practices.

Pro Tip: Start looking at which Modern Award covers your staff.

There are 5 simple steps to check you are paying your staff under the correct employment award.

Use the 5 step breakdown to assess each employee individually to identify if you have your staff classified correctly. Make this information clear in your position description and job title to the employee.

Take a look into my brain and become informed on navigating Fair Work. Become OZ employment compliant by subscribing to the premium service. It could avoid a BIG FINE! And some unsavoury press!
