14 Feb Webinar – Interns and Trainees
Hiring interns or trainees, why should you seek legal advice before you do?
Hiring interns and trainees is a strategy often used by small business owners and start-up entrepreneurs. Firstly, it can keep the costs down when starting to recruit as the business expands. Secondly, we also want to ‘give something back’ by fostering young talent.
Intern or employee – how to protect your business.
BUT, it’s vital you know where you stand legally when hiring these types of team members.
It’s a hot topic at the moment with Fair Work Australia clamping down on unpaid internships that should in fact, be paid.
Webinar
Our June webinar focuses on just this, where Progressive Legal founder Ian Aldridge and Special Counsel Carla Vinciullo discuss the recent case study (detailed here), what constitutes an intern vs. employee, and how you can protect yourself, your staff and your business.
