As soon as you hire just one employee for your business, your risks and obligations increase dramatically.
You are now responsible
for all of their actions while they are at work. And with social media - outside of work as well.
While it is very important
to hire the right people - it is equally important to fire them the right way as well. An unfair dismissal case can cost a business
thousands of dollars - even if you win.
With the Fair Work Act in place there are large penalties - up to $33,000 per infringement
- that can cripple your business. Compliance with workplace laws is not an option.
Don't let your business be the horror story
that people talk about, get your systems, policies and procedures in place and protect yourself and your business.
