Common sense, practical and strategic advice
Performance management, disciplinary action, grievances in the workplace and termination of employment are the most common, challenging and inherently risky processes involved in people management. Employees can also bring a number of claims, such as discrimination and bullying, to challenge these processes.
Understanding the right process
We advise on all aspects of managing the performance and conduct of employees including:
- the laws that apply when managing performance and considering termination of employment;
- knowing what documentation you need and what to include (and avoid) in warning and termination letters;
- knowing how to manage an employee grievance;
- reviewing your policies and processes to ensure they comply with the relevant laws;
- specific advice to help you resolve current performance management cases and misconduct matters;
- managing performance and discipline processes that involve an ill or injured employee; and
- processes to maximise the likely enforcement of post-employment restraints.
Developing and implementing best practice
We partner with you to implement effective and appropriate strategies, guidelines and case by case approaches for performance management, disciplinary and grievance procedures and termination of employment.
