I can think of a way in which Facebook could be quite dangerous for an employer. Apart from the groups that exist which express very negative sentiments about certain employers the biggest worry are...

ziggyboy, a few questions ...

What's the norm in what industry ?

How do you know there's a hiring freeze?

If you have accepted the offer it is a legally binding agreement, so at the very...

Thanks Nicole,

We're not concerned that the individual will not attend classes or participate in the course, and we don't require them to pass, because it is not something which we require....

Amy, that sounds very reasonable, providing it is a genuine consultation period. To get "buy in" you could also point out that you are formalising a benefit scheme which is currently discretionary...

Amy,
Regardless of whether the commission scheme is discretionary and non contractual, if it is already in place and has been for some time, then you need to take great care implementing any change....

Thanks for your response aking. Perhaps I should be more specific.

The employee has already been with us for a couple of years and there is nothing in the employment agreement which requires us...

Where an employer provides financial support for an employee's tertiary studies which are not required for the employee to do their current job, is it reasonable to have an agreement whereby the...

I'm sorry Mike, I don't have anything to offer in terms of documents, but surely the policy shouldn't be any different to that for other workers?

If a situation or practice is unsafe for a younger...

Frankly, I think the more national laws and schemes we get the better! It is absurd that we have different laws in each State.

Mike,
Reading between the lines it sounds like the "young workers" concerned aren't getting enough OH&S training!

Roger, I thought unused sick leave was accumulated, at least in Vic anyway. That's what we have in our employment contracts for Vic employees! We rely on lawyers to draft our employment contracts -...

I can see this becoming a big issue. While it is very tempting to 'check someone out' on the Web, it is very difficult not to be influenced by what you find, either positively or negatively.

I gather there is genuine voting, but at the end of the day it is a marketing exercise for Seek and the recruiters (some of whom work very hard at lobbying their candidates to vote!)

It's all a...

I agree with rockyhr.

In the current climate employers of almost all professional disciplines need to make sure their bands are not completely out of whack with reality, because not only will they...

The reality is, recruitment agencies just do recruitment, all day every day. The good ones make it their business to find the best candidates, before you do!

A broad search on Seek for accountants...

Excuse my ignorance but I don't even know what broadbanding is!

Can you please explain what it is.

Thanks,
Dave

Maybe it's my sheltered lifestyle, but I saw (or noticed) my first JJJ billboard only yesterday on Nepean Hwy in Melbourne. However, unless I already knew what JJJ was, it could have just as easily...

Not at all, there is not one point there that doesn't apply to any other workforce demographic. Equally there will be the similar exceptions in all demographics, i.e there will be some people for...

Is anyone having success recruiting through some of the new job boards such as jobsjobsjobs and careersites ?
