Great news, you’re already on the right track in terms of compliance!
You’re not quite on the right track. Not to worry though, there is always room for improvement!
Australian employment contract templates
In Australia, the employment relationship imposes duties and responsibilities on both employers and employees. This means that it is imperative to have compliant Australian employment contract templates at your disposal. You can seek help with drafting employment contract templates (permanent, fixed term, casual) which are compliant with Australian legislation and tailored to your organisation’s needs.
Modern Awards & Enterprise Agreements
It is incredibly important to ensure that your organisation follows (at least) minimum legal or Modern Award entitlements, to avoid underpayment or other non-compliance.
Policies & procedures / employee handbook(s)
A well-drafted set of policies and procedures or dedicated employee handbook ensures that your organisation’s rules, standards, values, culture, and benefits are clearly outlined. They address common HR issues or questions and minimise your risk of receiving unfair employment practices claims.
Accurate job descriptions
Well done! It is important to ensure that job descriptions accurately reflect the duties and responsibilities of the role.
Employee engagement
It is valuable for employers to provide a platform where employees can share their feedback. Subsequently, initiatives can be put in place to uplift or retain (high) employee engagement levels. A possible way of doing this is by conducting employee surveys.
Even though an employee survey is valuable tool to see where your organisation is thriving and where progress can be made, its value is only maximised once an organisation acts upon its results.
Immigration & global mobility
Collaborating with a registered migration agent is recommended to increase the likelihood of a successful visa application. A registered migration agent is an industry expert who can answer your questions whilst also ensuring an efficient and complete application is submitted.
HR Training for Employees & Managers
HR training encourages managers to think from a legal and ethical viewpoint, and the associated risks of everyday decisions. Training will enable rapid and informed decision-making as they relate to people and operations.
Human Resource Information System (HRIS)
A complete HR information system makes your organisation’s life a lot easier as the Fair Work Ombudsman and other government bodies require employers to keep records on general employee details, payment, working hours, leave, superannuation, individual flexibility agreements, guarantee of annual earnings and ending of employment.
