Many large, respected Australian firms have been found to be underpaying their staff in recent years. WCA completes regular wage reconciliations (or BOOT tests) for our clients to identify shortfalls or significant overpayments. Get peace of mind with valuable remuneration data to inform strategic decision making.

Your organisation may currently pay your staff above the award and wrongly believe you are compliant. Newspaper headlines in 2019 demonstrated this is often incorrect. If you have employees working over 38 hours/week or supervising a team they may be entitled to allowances, penalties and other entitlements and you’re over award payment may not be clear or cover your obligations. Ensure HR compliance to avoid short-changing employees and significant
brand damage.

Employment law has become more complex. Know that you are doing the right thing for your employees. Are your human resources and industrial relations systems and processes:

• Legally compliant?
• Accessible and easy to use?
• Efficient and fit for purpose?
• Aligned with current best practice?
• Reviewed regularly?

One of our WCA HR/IR Audits will provide you with the reassurance you are addressing these questions:

• A comprehensive review of current HR/IR documentation against a list of legal and relevant industry benchmarks/ best practice requirements.
• Optional on-line staff survey to obtain staff impressions of organisational requirements and HR delivery.
• Plus optional in-depth interviews with selected key stakeholders, to gain a thorough understanding of current HR/IR and cultural practices and capabilities and what is required to achieve your future business objectives.
