In Australia, we have one of the most complicated employment law systems in the world and there are serious penalties for getting it wrong.

For over 20 years, the Ridgeline HR team has been helping businesses of all shapes, sizes and industries across the country with ensuring that they are compliant with their legal obligations as employers.  

You can get a professional and comprehensive Workplace Relations Compliance Assessment for as little as $1,250 plus GST. When you consider the fact that, as at 1 July 2024, fines for basic infringements can be up to $1,878 for an individual and $9,360 for a corporation, that is a small investment.

The assessment report will tell you what the National Employment Standards are and how they apply to your business, which modern awards apply, what records you need to keep, whether you are compliant with all of that and what options you have to deal with any areas of concern.

We can assist with payroll audits to verify that you are paying your people correctly or to detect and calculate underpayments of wages and entitlements.

If you happen to receive complaints of underpayments, we can also help you in negotiations with relevant employees and the office of the Fair Work Ombudsman if they become involved.

Plus we can provide you with employment agreements and HRM policies tailored to your business directly or through the Employment Hero portal.

We also issue regular updates on what might be changing in workplace relations obligations (and there are significant changes happening each year that you need to know about). 

Did you know that we are going through the biggest period of change in HR ever with some 70 changes in workplace relations laws and modern awards coming in in the space of 3 years?

See our webinar on all of these changes.
