EMPLOYMENT LAW

The effective management of human resources is a fundamental part of any successful organisation. At McDonald Johnson, we provide advice to both employers and employees on a wide array of employment law issues.

Industrial relations legislation has undergone a significant overhaul in recent times, particularly in light of the Federal Government’s new WorkChoices legislation, and we are able to combine a careful understanding of your specific needs with our knowledge of employment law and court procedure to provide timely and cost effective advice on matters including:

  • The interpretation and drafting of employment contracts and related documentation
  • The interpretation and application of employment and industrial legislation
  • The termination of employment and other disciplinary processes
  • Compliance and risk management issues relating to Occupational Health and Safety obligations, and
  • Prosecutions under the Occupational Health and Safety Act 2000 (NSW).
