If you’re about to hire new staff or sign an employee agreement, Antunes Lawyers can make sure that all workers receive the wages, entitlements and awards that they're entitled to.
As an employer, you must navigate and comply with various national employment standards. With the help of our lawyers, you can guarantee compliance to the law and prevent costly industrial disputes and potential claims against your business.
Most working Australians are covered by a national award or registered agreement that is industry or occupation-based. Modern awards provide entitlements and provisions such as rates of pay, hours of work, rostering, allowances, penalty rates, and overtime.
Our experienced employment lawyers can ensure that you, as an employee, are receiving the correct wage rate and entitlements that are relevant to your occupation.
Antunes Lawyers have been exceptional to work with. Tim and his team are always willing to go the extra mile with proving me the support and advice I need in all my employment matters. An amazing firm I would highly recommend.
