Recruitment and Performance

Macrossans Lawyers assist many companies to develop their policies of recruitment and performance management to encourage a productive workforce, retain staff and prevent issues from occurring.

We provide many employers with advice on:

• Remuneration, entry and exit strategies
• Performance management, discipline and terminations
• Management of absence, illness and injury
• Professional misconduct
• Redundancies
• Unfair dismissals
• Protecting privacy, confidentiality and intellectual property
• Restraint of trade and market share protection.

We regularly represent both employers and employees in the Civil Courts and the Australian Industrial Relations Commission.

Our experience

• In 2007, we defended a childcare operator in the Federal Magistrates Court against a claim for unlawful dismissal by a former employee
• In 2007, we resolved an unfair dismissal dispute between a timber corporation and an injured employee that had breached the employer's workplace health and safety policy
• Advising a national manufacturing and distribution client regarding redundancy.
