Hiring Staff And Terminating Employment

This Employer Guide gives a comprehensive summary of important things to consider when you employ or dismiss staff.

"Hiring and firing" is a risky business.

Hiring the right person can be very rewarding. If you don’t it can cost a lot of money and management time away from your business.

This Employer Guide gives a comprehensive summary of important things to consider when you employ or dismiss staff. We include information on agreement requirements, induction, probationary/trial periods, redundancy, disciplinary process and prolonged absence of employees.
