Our Employment Law Services

Unfair Dismissal, Adverse Action and Underpaid Wages

It is critical for employers to understand how to pay their employees and avoid wage theft. Our workplace lawyers provide legal representation to manage unfair dismissal, adverse action and discrimination claims.

We can help with unpaid wages, advice on how to claim compensation, and protecting the rights of employers and workers.

Our employment lawyers help clients manage work, health, and safety risks. You should seek legal advice if you operate in a dangerous industry or environment.

The team at Prosper Law can advise on matters including identifying and managing workplace risks and creating policies and procedures, to industry-specific workplace relations advice.

Employment Agreements

Our professional advice covers employment contracts and our employment lawyers will explain how they impact you.

An employment contract that is not drafted correctly can create risk for employers and workers. We prepare industry and occupation specific employment agreement templates.

Sexual Harassment & Other Workplace Investigations

Our employment law team help our clients manage misconduct and workplace bullying, including allegations of sexual harassment.

We ensure that workplace investigations are procedurally fair. We also provide legal representation for employers that seek advice and an employment solicitor to advise on best practice.

What is the Claim Process?

Information Gathering

The claim process will depend on the type of employment dispute, workplace harassment or other issue or legal services that you would like our team to provide. The first step is for us is to gather relevant information. We may ask for copies of emails, your recollection of conversations, contracts and job descriptions.

Employment Law Strategy

Based on the employment issues identified, our employment solicitors will provide advice and recommend the best way forward. We will work with you to develop a strategy that works best for you and your individual circumstances.

Formalise Resolving Employment Issues

Employment law matters can be resolved in many ways. Generally, law firms will recommend communicating with the other party to attempt to resolve the matter.

However, if an informal solution cannot be reached, a more formal approach may be needed. This could mean dismissing an employee, carrying out a workplace investigation or making or responding to an application to the Fair Work Commission. Contact us for a free consultation and our employment law team will advise you on the claim process for your employment law matter.

Client Case Studies

Employer Legal Representation for Unfair Dismissal

Our employment solicitors provided legal representation to an employer. The employee made a claim for unfair dismissal after engaging in unlawful behaviour in the workplace.

We submitted a response to the unfair dismissal application and advocated for the employer at the conciliation conference. We successfully protected the employer's interests.

Award Coverage and Pay Advice

Our workplace lawyers advised an employer on the application of various Modern Awards. The employer had a number of employees with different roles.

Navigating complex Modern Award entitlements and pay guides can be challenging for employers. Our employment law team gave detailed advice for each employee and ensured the employer understood how to pay their employees correctly.

Employment Contract Advice and Non Compete Clauses

We have advised employees how to interpret their employment contract.

Our employment contract advice highlighted issues with the contract and how it did not comply with law. This included advice on the application of a non-compete clause and whether it was legally enforceable.

General Protections and Settlement Negotiations

Expert employment law advice is critical if you are being discriminated against. We acted for an employee who was being performance managed for reasons related to parental responsibilities

We successfully negotiated an outcome for the employee, including compensation and resignation from employment.

From an employment contract review to recruitment and labour hire agreement terms, we can hep!

Employment law is a complicated area of law. It is also a highly regulated area of law. This means that there are lots of things that employers and employees can and can’t do.

Poorly performing staff or lawsuits can be costly for employers. On the other hand, salary and wages is a main source of income for many Australian workers. This means that it is worth investing in professional legal advice.

An employment solicitor can help employers and workers understand their legal rights and obligations.

Workplace investigations involve gathering information and making findings about whether things have or have not happened. Those findings are then reported to the employer who then uses that information to decide what to do next.

The Fair Work Act is the main piece of legislation that covers employment law in Australia. There are lots of other laws and regulations that cover employment law. Contracts, Modern Awards and Enterprise Agreements are also important when it comes to employment law.

There are also court decisions that interpret law and explain similar legal issues and their outcome.

We use all of these tools, as well as our deep knowledge and experience, in providing our clients with strategic advice and progressing matters.
