Employment-law advice — Legal adviser
A workplace change, disagreement or employment document may need a legal review before a response is sent. State whether you seek advice as a worker or employer, the broad issue and any date already communicated. Avoid uploading personnel files, medical information or allegations to the public enquiry.
Service scope
Professional advice on employment-related documents, workplace issues and the respective positions of a worker or employer. The instruction must identify the client side, jurisdiction and stage of the matter; employment status and available procedures are not determined by the catalogue label.
What is normally included
- Reviewing employment documents
- Advising on a defined workplace issue
- Explaining relevant professional process options
- Preparing agreed employment-related correspondence
What is not included
- Representation of both sides without appropriate conflict handling
- Employment-status determination by a quote form
- Guaranteed settlement or reinstatement
Typical tasks
- Identify the employment issue and client side
- Review relevant contract or policy material privately
- Establish the sequence of events
- Assess the requested advice or drafting scope
- Explain options within a separate professional consultation
What to include in your brief
- Worker or employer perspective
- Jurisdiction of the employment
- Type of issue or document
- Important notified dates
- Approximate amount of relevant correspondence
Choosing the right professional
Select someone who regularly handles the relevant side and type of employment matter. Ask whether the engagement is for a one-off document review, advice during an internal process or later representation, and how urgent dates will be assessed before the work is accepted.
Important considerations
- Worker status and jurisdiction can change the appropriate advice
- Sensitive staff information needs controlled handling
- Procedural dates must not be assumed to pause during provider selection
