Overview

Hiring your first employee is a significant and rather overwhelming step for business owners looking to grow and expand their business. In this workshop, you will learn to navigate the hiring process with confidence and gain an understanding of compliance issues and legal requirements that you need to be aware of.

Uncover the complexities of industrial relations and develop a manageable to-do list covering everything from workplace safety obligations to payroll and superannuation. Understand the difference between contractors and employees, laws and regulations impacting employment and how insurance can protect your business and your employees.
