FAQ

Legal questions
answered

All employees should have written employment contracts that comply with Fair Work legislation and relevant awards. Even casual workers benefit from clear terms. Proper employment contracts protect both you and your employees by setting clear expectations and obligations.

Under the Work Health & Safety Act 2011 (NSW), employers must, so far as reasonably practicable, ensure the health and safety of their workers and anyone affected by their business. This includes providing safe workplaces, systems, equipment, and welfare facilities, as well as training, supervision, and ongoing monitoring of risks – including physical and psychological hazards. Employers must also consult with workers about safety matters, and SafeWork NSW enforces these duties.

If you are currently employed under a verbal or written employment agreement then you are bound by the terms and conditions of that agreement. Neither you nor your employer is entitled to unilaterally change the terms and conditions. Your employer cannot force you to sign a new contract of employment with different terms and conditions unless you agree to do so. If you are commencing employment with an employer who offers you an employment contract then it is important for you to obtain urgent legal advice in relation to the terms and conditions of the agreement.
