Employment Law advice

As you know probably Australian employment law is in a state of flux at the moment. The rules for managing disputes are likely to change very soon, but for many people - emploees and emploers - the key issues and most of the rules will remain the same.

Erina Legal can provide advice and representation to both employers and employees in dispute. Our primary focus is on achieving a mutually satisfactory outcome and where possible we look to resolve disputes quickly, through negotiated or mediated agreements.

We can also assist in avoiding conflict by helping you with employment agreements and conflict management plans - and for most people this is the most effectve way to manage disputes - plan and be prepared. If everyone knows the rules for managiong disputes the scope for misunderstandings and things getting out of hand are significantly reduced.

Conflict management plans can be introduced to parties in the early stages of a dispute or into a workplace before any disputes even exist. Contracts with partners, suppliers and customers often have conflict management clauses - and agreements with employees should also. They are most likely a business's most valuable asset, after all.
