EMPLOYMENT LAW
Employment law is an important component of the legal framework that governs the interaction between employers and employees in Australia. It ensures that all parties involved are treated fairly, work in safe environments, and have their rights protected. At Mantoo Lawyers, we offer skilled legal services to assist businesses in understanding the complexity of employment law and remaining compliant with Australian requirements.
Understanding Employment Law in Australia.
Employment law in Australia is principally governed by the Fair Work Act 2009, which establishes minimum standards for employment circumstances such as salaries, working hours, leave benefits, and termination procedures. Furthermore, the National Employment Standards (NES) provide ten minimum employment entitlements that must be supplied to all employees.
Key Areas of Employment Law
Employment Contracts
An employment contract is a legally binding contract between an employer and an employee that sets out the terms and conditions of employment. It provides information such as employment responsibilities, compensation, working hours, and leave benefits. Both parties benefit much from ensuring that employment contracts are transparent, fair, and legally binding. Mantoo Lawyers helps businesses write, evaluate, and arrange employment contracts that protect their interests and ensure compliance with the Fair Work Act.
Workplace Policies and Procedures
Workplace policies and procedures are critical to ensuring a peaceful and effective work environment. These policies address issues such as anti-discrimination, workplace health and safety, grievance management, and disciplinary action. Mantoo Lawyers works with businesses to establish and execute comprehensive workplace policies that meet legal requirements while also promoting a pleasant working culture.
Fair Work Commission
The FWC is Australia's national workplace relations tribunal. It addresses a variety of topics, including unfair dismissal claims, collective bargaining, and workplace disputes. Our skilled legal team can represent your company in FWC proceedings, giving expert advice and advocacy to ensure a favourable outcome.
Unfair Dismissal
When an employee gets fired in a cruel, unfair, or unjustified way, it's known as an unfair dismissal. Workers can file a claim with the Fair Work Commission if they feel they were fired unfairly. Mantoo Lawyers can assist companies manage their firing procedures to minimize the possibility of unjust dismissal lawsuits and guarantee compliance with legal standards. We also offer strong legal counsel and strategic help to employers that are defending against similar allegations.
Workplace Harassment and Discrimination
Numerous federal and state laws, such as the Fair Work Act, the Sex Discrimination Act of 1984, and the Disability Discrimination Act of 1992, forbids harassment and discrimination in the workplace. It is legally required of employers to create a welcoming and safe workplace. Mantoo Lawyers can help businesses develop and implement anti-discrimination policies, conduct training sessions, and handle complaints to ensure compliance and promote a respectful workplace.
Workplace Health and Safety
Workplace health and safety (WHS) laws require that employers create a secure work environment and take appropriate measures to safeguard the well-being of their workforce. This involves recognizing and controlling workplace risks, offering suitable training, and guaranteeing adherence to WHS guidelines. To maintain legal compliance and protect employee wellness, our legal team can help firms with WHS policy development, risk assessments, and incident response.
Employment Disputes
Employment disputes can arise from various issues, including contract breaches, wage disputes, and workplace grievances. Effective resolution of these disputes is essential to maintain a positive work environment and avoid costly litigation. Mantoo Lawyers provides expert advice and representation in employment disputes, helping businesses resolve conflicts through negotiation, mediation, or litigation if necessary.
