Are you a Contractor? Do you pay flat ‘above Award’ rates to your employees? Vogt Legal can assist.

If you’re unsure which Modern Award applies to your employees, and unsure of the applicable Award entitlements payable to your employees, you’ll need legal advice.

At Vogt Legal, our experienced employment law team can advise you on Award coverage and compliance.

In our experience, many Contractor employers both pay ‘above Award’ rates and overlook their Award obligations, which exposes them to costly underpayment claims and fines.

Before and after a dispute arises, we can assist employers and particularly Contractor employers to:

• identify the source of their Award obligations;
• assess whether they comply with their Award obligations;
• advise on the purpose and utility of an Individual Flexibility Agreement (IFA);
• draft IFA’s tailored to the particular circumstances; and,
• recommend proportionate and practical measures to remediate Award breaches.
