TOTAL HUMAN CAPITAL SOLUTIONS

Industrial Relations Advice and Advocacy:

Members of The Retailers Association have direct access to free telephone based advice on a day to day basis, including wages determinations, general employment conditions and dispute resolution procedures. We also offer members specialist support and industrial advocacy within Industrial Relations Commissions, by one of our specialist Industrial Advocates at greatly reduced rates to what are otherwise available commercially.
Members also have access to specialist industrial agreement services, that allow individual companies to modernise and adapt their employment practices and needs to a tailored document that can be prepared by The Retailers Association. This then takes over from the old restrictive Award. Such modern agreements allow for a range of exciting options including allowing casual staff to legally work in excess of 30 hours per week, or averaging out overtime and legally offering time off in lieu of penalties, split shifts where they are sought by the employer and the employee, the options are extensive. Talk to us and find out just how simple it can be to get the industrial relations security and flexability your business deserves.
