HR Consulting

We provide assistance with the interpretation of modern awards, calculation of employee entitlements and terminations, employment contract review, and workforce compliance for NSW employers.

Our Approach

HR compliance where it intersects with your numbers

We provide assistance with interpretation of awards, calculation of entitlements and terminations, accreditation, and interpretation of employment contracts and industrial instruments.

Our HR consulting sits naturally alongside our bookkeeping and accounting services — if we're already processing your payroll or reviewing your financial records, we can identify compliance gaps before they become underpayment claims. We work with employers of all sizes, from small family businesses to larger organisations with complex workforce structures.

Early involvement is always preferable. Whether you are hiring, restructuring, or navigating a difficult employment matter, we can review the relevant obligations and help you manage the situation appropriately.

Common Questions

HR Consulting — FAQ

Can you help interpret a modern award for my employees?

Yes. Modern award interpretation is a practical and often complex area. We assist employers in correctly applying the applicable award, including identifying which award covers a given role, understanding classification structures, and calculating rates and penalties correctly.

What termination entitlement calculations do you provide?

We calculate final pay entitlements on termination, including accrued annual leave, long service leave (where applicable), and any redundancy entitlements under the Fair Work Act or relevant enterprise agreement. Accurate termination calculations help avoid disputes and potential underpayment liability.

Can you review our employment contracts?

Yes. We review employment contracts to ensure they are consistent with the applicable award or enterprise agreement, legally compliant, and appropriately reflect the terms agreed with the employee. We can identify provisions that may create unintended obligations or expose your business to risk.

Do you advise on accreditation and certification requirements?

We provide guidance on accreditation and certification requirements that are relevant to your industry or workforce, particularly where these intersect with employment obligations, compliance reporting, or HR policy. We work alongside legal advisors where the matter goes beyond the accounting and HR scope.

How do underpayment risks arise and how can you help?

Underpayment most commonly arises from incorrect award classification, overlooked allowances or penalty rates, or manual payroll errors. We can review your payroll processes and award compliance to identify gaps and help you implement controls that reduce the risk of underpayment claims.

At what stage should I involve HR consulting in a workforce matter?

Early involvement is always preferable — whether you're making a new hire, restructuring your workforce, or navigating a performance matter. The earlier we review the relevant obligations and documentation, the more options are available to manage the situation appropriately.
