Awards and National Employment Standards (NES)
We help you determine and navigate the complexities of the right Award and classification for your employees, including all employee entitlements as well as the NES.
Put people together and you can guarantee that not everyone will get along all of the time. Sometimes it’s a simple misunderstanding but conflict can get messy so HR Staff n’ Stuff can help investigate and mediate with the aim of resolving and re-engaging your people. Tough decisions may need to be made and we can help you navigate the process fairly and legally.
Giving an employee a formal warning is not that simple anymore. There are processes to ensure procedural fairness that also will protect you from or minimise any employee claims. We provide easy to follow instructions or can attend on site dependent on your individual needs.
Retaining and engaging employees is critical to business success. We can assess your levels of staff satisfaction and assist with a strategic plan to fix issues, improve engagement and productivity – all of which ultimately leads to improvements in business performance, productivity and profitability.
We assist you in all legislative matters to give you total peace of mind; we have comprehensive knowledge and understanding of your employer obligations.
When serious issues occur and/or an employee lodges a formal complaint, you may need to conduct an investigation. We advise you how to do this properly and can even do it for you for an extra level of impartiality and professionalism.
Sometimes no matter what you do, people just don’t get along. Mediation can be a powerful tool to getting workplace relationships back into positive territory. We can help set up the process and help you work through what to do if mediation can’t resolve the problem.
OH&S Solutions / Drug & Alcohol Testing
An employer’s number one obligation is to OH&S – we help you get it altogether to provide a safe workplace and meet your obligations, and assist with minimising risks in your business with comprehensive drug and alcohol management practices.
Getting an employee back on track through a performance management plan can be time consuming and difficult – we help you every step of the way from knowing when one is needed, to moving to a termination when performance management has been unsuccessful.
Get out in front of issue management with robust employment contracts and workplace policies. Having good information in your business provides you with tools to better manage issues as they arise. We can do all this for you. (We can even help you with your own awesome portal to house your policies and code of conduct for your employees to access easily!)
Redundancies / Terminations
No matter how much experience you have, letting people go from your business is tough – whether it’s because you are short on work, have restructured your business or an employee is performing below expectations and not responding to a performance improvement plan. To ensure you meet your employer obligations and protect your business, we can either provide step by step advice or we can action these for you.
