Your First Employee

Your staff are often the face of your business so having good people can be invaluable. You might have a great product, excellent premises and a great cash flow - but remember, good employees can be your greatest asset.

You and your employees have certain obligations to each other under common law. As a business, you will also have obligations under Federal, State and Territory laws, industrial awards and agreements, tribunal decisions and contracts of employment.
