I agree with Moz. The leave period should be considered part of your notice period. Flipping the situation the other way around, some employers actually exercise the right to direct a resigned...
Hi Elaine,
I am not sure if Sydney is too different from the rest of Australia. But from my experience in national HR, life insurance is not a standard employee benefit. However, we certainly...
Hi Elaine,
We find it most effective to reach final year students and alumnni through the university job boards itself. They are often free of charge, all you need to do is register as an...
Thanks anyway :)
Hi Moz, you're correct. There is no National OH&S legislation just yet. It's been something in the backburner for almost 2 or 3 decades. However, they are making in-roads into it....there is a...

US based employees are employed by our US entities :)

Hi Michael,
Is it possible for you to share which source you used for industry benchmarks of turnover rates? Thanks!
carlosrici....are you able to advice whether employee information is stored in the company servers (internally) or externally through a hosted web service?
For legal updates, you are able to subscribe for free online newsletters/updates from most industrial relations firms
For best practice updates, this forum provides a great place for sharing and...
The CPI increase changes every year and usually, the Corporate Services Exec or most senior accountant is the best person to ask as they are updated with these figures.
We use the AIM...
I agree...but you should really check what your legislation says. Worker's Rehabilitation and Compensation Act in SA definitely provides for the employee being on Worker's Comp during the period.

Do you only require Perth participants? Or we can be anywhere in Australia to participate in the survey?
SafeWork SA has a really good initiative in regards to your concern. They conduct an annual SafeWork Week where there are concurrent seminars in various locations, different sponsors and...
Hi Ms_HR,
We don't have a higher duties template. We have a Higher Duties Procedure that outlines the underlying principles that governs the procedure. We also have employees who are part of the...
Yeah...that's what I like about HRBuzz....people are freely expressing their opinion without being judged.
If you're really interested, you can actually access the full report from the AHRI website. Some of the questions raised here are detailed in the full report, albeit some are not.
Does anyone...
Thanks JackT....will have a look at it!
