Employer Essentials Courses

Protect yourself and your employees.

As a business, you are not just delivering services; you are also managing contracts, finances, and even the well-being of your people.

Employer Essentials courses are designed to help plumbing and gas businesses operate within the national employment standards and protect employers and employees. These online courses cover the essentials of managing your business from complying with employment entitlements and requirements to handling inappropriate behaviour in the workplace.

Employment Contracts

GET YOUR CONTRACTS SORTED. Contracts are your safeguard when it comes to employment. Gain an understanding of probation periods and how they relate to employment contracts, considerations when determining wage rates, and the intricacies of record keeping.

Employment Entitlements

ENSURE COMPLIANCE. Employees within Australia have minimum entitlements they are to receive whilst employed. Know your employees’ entitlements under the Fair Work Act 2009, including leave, enterprise bargaining agreements, and superannuation requirements.

Plumbing Industry-Specific Employment Requirements

PROTECT YOUR EMPLOYEES. The plumbing industry has three main Awards that employers may have coverage of. Learn more about these types of employment, apprentices, overtime and penalties, hours of work, paid and unpaid breaks, and fares and travel.

Performance Management

MAKE APPROPRIATE MANAGEMENT ACTIONS. Performance management is part of employing people to ensure that outcomes for the business and the people are achieved. Understand performance appraisals, redundancy, and navigating complaints and unfair dismissals.

Bullying, Harassment, Discrimination

Everyone has the right to a safe workplace. Prevent and address bullying, harassment, and discrimination; create avenues for employees to raise complaints; and ensure a physically and mentally safe place for yourself, your clients, and your employees.
