Workplace law is one of the major areas that small business owners constantly get caught out with.
It can be a very tricky area when it comes to proper awards, categorisation of employees, employees v contractors, proper classification of casual employment, part-time employment or full-time employment and what each of those categorisations means for leave entitlements, leave loading, accruing of annual leave.

Why employment contracts are important for your business
Employment contracts are important for any organisation that plan to hire staff. These legal documents are a set of written agreements between an employer and employee. These agreements cover all the aspects of the employment relationship. They define what the employee will do and what they will not do. In addition, they cover all aspects of wages, benefits, termination, and other conditions of employment.
Further, employment contracts spell out the terms and conditions of employment and what will happen if there is a dispute between the employer and the employee.
