It’s vital that everyone in your organisation has a written outline of their role; a position description.
Position descriptions clarify what you can ask your employees to do AND give you the back-up you need if they refuse to follow your instructions.
With the introduction of modern awards as at 1 January 2010 there are detailed classifications that apply to your business when remunerating your employees. If your position descriptions are incorrect you could find yourself subject to claims for backpay.
Writing detailed position descriptions can be time consuming and costly. We at Biz Momentum have developed a suite of Job Descriptions that comply with legislation, pre-written and cost effective.

The implementation of Modern Awards has opened up the possibilities of employers entering into Annualised Awards with their employees.
This provides that an employer may pay an employee an annual salary in satisfaction of certain provisions of the award such as;
1. Minimum weekly wages;
2. Allowances;
3. Overtime and penalty rates; and
4. Annual leave loading.
Where an annual salary is paid the employer must advise the employee in writing of the annual salary that is payable and which of the provisions of this award will be satisfied by payment of the annual salary. The annual salary must not disadvantage the employee and must be reviewed annually.
At Biz Momentum we can assist you in writing and implementing these agreements for your business.
