New Employee Paperwork

[bullswool]

Hi,

I was wondering if anybody to provide guidance on new employee Paperwork.

At a minimum, what must a new employee be provided in terms of paperwork (contracts, tfn, super etc), as prescribed in FW Act or other law?

This checklist on the fair work website for new employees is a good place to start:-

If new to HR in Australia I would also be gaining an understanding the Fair Work Act and relevant modern awards to the industry you are working in.

Thanks Carrie, that info is great!

No, I'm not new to Aus HR, but before I give advise I like to ensure my advise is correct and satisfy my curiosity.
The FW website states that "it is a good idea to put an offer on employment in writing" (my emphasis) - I was really surprised that this was not a legislated requirement!
