FEE FOR SERVICE

The Chamber will work with you to:

·         Evaluate your business needs for a particular type of agreement (award, individual or enterprise)

·         Plan, negotiate and reach an appropriate agreement for your business arrangements

·         Draft the agreement

·         Ensure the individual or enterprise agreement passes the FWA Better Off Overall Test (BOOT) requirements

·         Secure Fair Work Australia approval for an EBA

·         Manage successful implementation

·         Assist with the management process regarding agreement changes

·         Secure National Building code compliance (if required)

Make agreements work for your business through our tailored solutions for employers of all sizes.  Chamber staff have extensive experience in all forms of agreements development and can advise you on the type of agreement which best suits your needs. We have helped over 300 employers make changes in the workplace through the implementation of various agreements. We have been successful in all areas including large and small employers with union and non-union workplaces.

If you ask us to formally represent you in certain case matters including unfair dismissal claims or performance management, we can advise you every step of the way as part of our Fee for Service support, help with or handle all the necessary paper work and technical requirements, represent you in negotiations with the employee or employee organisation and in any Court or Commission proceedings. 

We are a not-for-profit organisation so our fee for service charges are generally half those of lawyers and we have a track record of resolving these issues promptly and effectively for the business, often negotiating an acceptable settlement and therefore keeping business owners out of more formal proceedings.
