Industrial Relations Strategy

Industrial relations are the cornerstone of a fair and productive workplace environment. We understand the importance of having a well-crafted strategy to ensure a positive relationship between employers and employees. Our team specialises in designing and implementing effective industrial relations strategies tailored to align with your business goals. Whether it’s planning, execution, operational support, or future positioning, our experts are here to guide you every step of the way. We also provide on-call assistance when you need expertise from an employer lawyer to resolve challenging situations, enhancing your staff’s skills while reducing costs.

Enterprise Agreements

Negotiating enterprise agreements is a critical process determining a group of employees’ working conditions, pay rates, and other employment terms and conditions. Our team excels in helping organisations navigate this complex negotiation, ensuring compliance with relevant laws and regulations.

Here’s why having IRiQ Law on your side can maximise the success of your enterprise bargaining:

• Expertise in the EBA process: Our team possesses extensive knowledge of the enterprise bargaining process, including relevant laws, bargaining procedures, and best practices.
• Neutral perspective: We provide a neutral and impartial perspective, ensuring fairness for both employers and employees.
• Improved communication: Our bespoke communication strategy clarifies issues, manages expectations, and ensures both parties understand each other’s positions, resulting in efficient negotiations and cost savings.
• Time and resource savings: We streamline the negotiation process, saving you valuable time and resources.
• Dispute resolution: We focus on resolving disputes through negotiation and mediation, reducing the risk of costly legal battles.

Single Interest Multi-Employer Enterprise Agreements

Single-interest multi-employer agreements, a new form of agreements, can apply to multiple employers and their employees. Navigating this process can be challenging due to recent legislative changes. Our experienced workplace relations lawyers can guide you through the complexities and help you make informed decisions regarding this unique bargaining approach.

Payroll Audit and Remediation

Ensuring compliance with wage and entitlement standards is crucial for employers. Payroll errors can lead to significant problems and even legal consequences. IRiQ Law offers a multi-disciplinary approach to payroll compliance, leveraging technology, data analytics, and legal expertise to identify and rectify systemic issues. Our proprietary system, IRPAY, provides a holistic payroll audit, remediation, and risk management solution, safeguarding your organisation and its officers from legal pitfalls.

Workplace Investigations

When misconduct allegations arise in the workplace, legal action may be necessary to meet legal obligations or internal policies. IRiQ Law can provide expert legal advice and appoint independent external workplace investigators where necessary to ensure that relevant information is obtained and factual findings are made, facilitating informed management decisions.

Advice and Assistance

Sometimes, you need legal guidance or assistance without the full-service approach. IRiQ Law offers an Employer Advice Line retainer, providing access to legal advice and resources as needed. We are known for delivering responsive and commercially sound legal advice, empowering you to make informed decisions and take effective action.

Advocacy and Representation

Employment and Industrial Relations litigation can occur in various jurisdictions, and early strategic decisions can significantly impact outcomes. With decades of litigation experience, the IRiQ Law team is well-equipped to advance your interests and mitigate litigation risks.

Disputes

Disputes can emerge at any stage of the employment relationship. The IRiQ Law team assists employers in identifying strategic pathways for dispute resolution, whether through negotiation, mediation, or arbitration in the Fair Work Commission.
