Employment Law and Workplace
Relations Lawyer
I get energy by helping you reduce the time you spend reacting to HR spot fires, through proactive and strategic support.
What I can help you with
Here’s a list of the typical matters I can support you with:
-
Any and all HR queries that come through e.g. enterprise agreement and award interpretation and compliance, advice on entitlements, pay rates etc
-
Reviewing challenging communications to staff (what we call ‘shadow drafting’ for you)
-
Navigating statutory processes (e.g. casual conversion, flexible work requests);
-
Managing employees with long-term illnesses or injuries (both physical and psychological)
-
Coaching you through performance management and misconduct issues (without falling afoul of the law)
-
Guiding you through the redundancy processes (without falling afoul of the law);
-
Testing your thinking on a complex scenario (e.g. a business case for redundancy)
-
Considering a discrete legal compliance issue (e.g. underpayments, application of an entitlement)
-
Managing legal claims (e.g. Unfair Dismissal, General Protections, Bullying).
