    All things HR Q&A with Dee and Phoebe

    In this episode, we break down some of the most common workplace issues employers are facing right now and what they need to watch for as laws continue to shift. We take a practical look at the new Right to Disconnect legislation and what it means for both leaders and staff. We also cover the legal risks of keeping staff casual, especially when patterns of work start to look permanent. We explore the challenges that come with employees working multiple roles and how to manage pay, safety and position clarity. We discuss what happens when an employee walks away from their job and whether payment is still owed in cases of abandonment of employment. You will hear a rundown on flexible working arrangement requests, including what counts as a reasonable refusal and how employers can approach these requests with care. We touch on termination during qualifying periods and the rights and limits around having a support person in meetings. We also talk about when higher duties pay applies for acting managers and why this can be an area that is often missed. To round things out, we look at how to handle employee grievances in a fair and organised way and share a brief outlook on possible future changes that may come under a Labor Government. This episode gives employers and managers a clear, practical guide to navigating real workplace issues with confidence and consistency.
