Tools to help businesses with hiring staff

Hiring staff for the first time can be time consuming and confusing. This is especially true for small businesses without human resources support or specialised legal advice.

The Federal Government is offering two online tools to help businesses with the process of hiring an employee.

The Hiring employees checklist helps businesses understand the process of hiring staff and how to do so in compliance with Australian law.

The Employment contract tool assists businesses with building a valid employment contract. The tool steps the user through a series of questions to generate a tailored contract covering employee pay and conditions.

Visit business.gov.au/employ to use the tools or find out more, or call 13 28 46.
