Employee Relations

Labor LawsIf you run a small or medium sized business (SME), it is likely that you have been ‘skipping’ a few of those annoying ‘employment’ items.  They take up so much your time and they deliver nothing to your bottom line – until it all goes “pear shaped” that is!

  1. How do you manage that troublesome employee’s poor performance, or their misconduct at your workplace?  Do you have to have a stepped process?  Do you have to issue three warnings before you can dismiss an employee?
  2. Do the Modern Awards apply to you?  Which one(s)?  What are the correct pay-rates?  And how can you fix up any mistakes, without losing your shirt?
  3. How are your workplace policies looking?  Do you have any?  Do you know which ones you need?
  4. Do you or your employees need training in say, discrimination, harassment and/ or bullying?  Do you have the confidence and skills to manage a bullying investigation?  And how do you manage the disciplinary processes and outcomes?
  5. And what about drugs and/ or alcohol at the workplace?  How can you manage that?

SBWS can help you navigate through all of these issues – and more!
