Every workplace is different.
From negotiating the terms of employment contracts to providing advice on bullying laws and anti-bullying strategies, our workplace lawyers are trained to address a variety of complex legal issues.
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 You Need a Reliable Workplace Lawyer
It’s sometimes an absolute minefield and at the end of the day, the buck stops with you as the business owner or director to make sure that employees are properly paid in accordance with the Law, otherwise face a nasty back-pay claim, fines or even worse.

We help ensure our clients are protected from lawsuits and other legal issues, and we provide you with the right advice and guidance so you are following all the necessary workplace laws. We are here to help you understand the relevant legislation, awards, legal requirements and agreements that apply to your business.

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.
“Progressive Legal have provided me with excellent employment law contracts to date. The team has a good depth of lawyers with different strengths and specialisations. Their approach is transparent, which is a big reason I use them.”
