Information relevant states

Although employee relations is increasingly a national system of regulation, we recognise that State based differences must be reflected in the information and advice provided to our subscribers.

Easy to use guides

Managing staff is not easy. Complex rules and procedures often regulate the manner in which the employment relationship must be conducted. Formulating an employment contract, enterprise bargaining, warnings and dismissal, introduction of change to work practices and organisation, risk assessments, individual flexibility arrangements and access to leave. Our guides provide plain English commentary and guidance to enable employers to complete the task.

Fact Sheets

Sometimes all an employer needs is information in simple plain English to enable them to understand their rights and obligations under the Fair Work Act and other employment regulations. Employee Relations Online fact sheets provide easily understandable explanations on every aspect of Australian employment regulation and good management practice.
