Compliance Audits – (everyone’s favourite…) are you up to date? ✅

With updates to awards, enterprise agreements, and new Fair Work regulations rolling out, now’s the time to check if your business is compliant. Getting it wrong means financial risk, reputational damage, and employee trust issues (none of which make for a great start to the year). 

🔍 Where should you start?

1.          Review award and EA changes – Ensure pay rates, entitlements, and conditions are aligned with the latest updates. Many modern awards are changing more frequently—are you across them?

2.          Check your contracts and policies – Do they reflect current legislation? Are your casual conversion, right to disconnect, and leave policies up to date?

3.          Audit your payroll practices – Underpayments (even accidental ones) are a compliance nightmare. Run a check now before it becomes a bigger problem.

4.          Update manager training – Your leaders need to understand compliance too. Training them now prevents future missteps. 

A compliance audit now could save you thousands in penalties later – talk to your lawyers/HR now. 💡 Proactive compliance isn’t just about avoiding fines—it’s about building trust with your people and protecting your business.
