I have handled numerous Fair Work Tribunal applications (acting for both employer and employee) including disputes as to whether an employee is in fact an employee or contractor. I have drafted employment contract, work place policies and sub-contractor agreements. I have also negotiated with Workcover over insurance claims against employers.
The current employment law is confusing and imposes a reverse onus of proof in adverse action cases. You are best to be fully advised on such matters or run the risk of liability, or worse yet publicity of an adverse decision which could seriously injure the goodwill of your business if you are an employer.
