At Just HR Services, we help you create and maintain essential HR policies, procedures, and employment contracts that protect your business and your employees. By aligning your documents with the National Employment Standards (NES) and relevant awards, we ensure you stay compliant, fair, and confident.

Well-drafted workplace policies are essential for managing risk, setting expectations, and building a consistent, professional culture.

Essential (Practically Mandatory) Workplace Policies:

This help demonstrate compliance with legal obligations and are considered best practice under Fair Work and WHS laws:

Workplace Behaviour / Anti-Bullying & Harassment Policy
- Required under Work Health and Safety laws and aligns with the Fair Work Commission's anti-bullying jurisdiction.
Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) & Anti-Discrimination Policy
- Addresses employer obligations under the Fair Work Act, Sex Discrimination Act, Racial Discrimination Act, etc.
Leave & Absence Policy
- Covers annual leave, personal/carer’s leave, unpaid leave, compassionate leave, etc., aligning with the National Employment Standards (NES).
Disciplinary & Performance Management Policy
- Helps ensure procedural fairness and is essential to defend against unfair dismissal claims.
Grievance & Complaint Handling Policy
- Encourages early resolution and compliance with employer duty of care obligations.
Workplace Health & Safety (WHS) Policy
- While WHS laws differ by state, employers nationally have a duty to provide a safe workplace. A documented WHS policy is expected.

Highly Recommended Policies (Best Practice):

Code of Conduct
- Outlines behavioural expectations and can help enforce standards clearly.
Flexible Work Policy
- Aligns with employee rights to request flexible work under NES.
Remote Work / Work-from-Home Policy
- Crucial in hybrid work settings to manage safety, hours, expectations.
IT & Internet Usage Policy
- Defines boundaries for use of company systems and protects against misuse or breaches.
Privacy & Confidentiality Policy
- Particularly relevant for businesses handling sensitive employee or client information.

Final Notes:

These policies are not required by law in writing, but without them, businesses are exposed to higher legal risk.
The Fair Work Ombudsman and Fair Work Commission both assess employer conduct in light of whether these standards are clearly communicated and consistently applied.
