Questions employers ask us

Do you act for employees?

No. Our practice advises employers: business owners, managers and HR teams. If you are an employee with a workplace issue, the Fair Work Ombudsman on 13 13 94 is a good first call.

Is the first conversation confidential?

Yes. Tell us about the matter in confidence and with no obligation. We review every enquiry and respond promptly.

We've just received an unfair dismissal claim. What should we do first?

Call us before you reply to the Commission or the former employee. The Commission sets short deadlines for an employer's response, and what you say first matters.

Are you lawyers or HR consultants?

Lawyers. Strategic Workplace Partners is an incorporated legal practice that advises on workplace relations and employment law, so your advice comes from lawyers.

How do fees work?

It depends on the matter. We explain our costs before any work starts, so you can decide with the full picture.
