MWA Lawyers provide a range of employment law services to clients. Our services are tailored to meet the needs of commercial clients who are employers, or employees holding senior and/or high paid positions (including senior management or executive positions).

The law of employment is a complex labyrinth involving the interaction of:

– the Fair Work Act;

– the law of contract;

– the laws on restraint of trade;

-State based protections such as Annual Leave and Long Service Leave, workers compensation, and OH&S; and

– the various legislative provisions concerning discrimination, sexual harassment and other employee rights.

There can sometimes be severe consequences for Employers if they fail to navigate their way correctly through these areas.

Whether it be a case of termination based on redundancy, dismissal for cause, sale of a business, or a workplace incident or complaint, care is needed to ensure obligations are understood, and rights are protected. Both Employers and Employees need to be mindful of these matters.
