Employment Law

How we protect you:

Clear, well-drafted employment contracts are essential for protecting both employers and employees. We ensure that your employment agreements are legally compliant with Fiji's Employment Relations Act (ERA) 2007. We focus on drafting contracts that clearly outline the terms of employment, including wages, benefits, working hours, and termination procedures, to ensure there are no misunderstandings or legal disputes down the line. Our contracts are designed to safeguard the interests of both parties while complying with the relevant legal standards.

Having strong, comprehensive workplace policies is key to maintaining legal compliance and fostering a productive, harmonious work environment. We help employers develop and implement effective policies covering a range of topics such as wages, leave entitlements, disciplinary procedures, and dispute resolution mechanisms. We ensure that your policies are aligned with the ERA 2007 and other applicable regulations, helping to minimize legal risks and improve workplace efficiency. Our policies are tailored to meet the unique needs of your business while promoting fairness and transparency in the workplace.

Employment disputes can be costly and disruptive. We help businesses resolve issues early through alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods like mediation. Whether it’s an unfair dismissal claim, wage dispute, or workplace grievance, we represent businesses before the Mediation Unit and Employment Tribunal to ensure a fair and favorable outcome. Our team is skilled in negotiating settlements and offering legal strategies to prevent disputes from escalating into costly litigation. We prioritize resolution through dialogue, ensuring that conflicts are handled swiftly and professionally.

Maintaining a safe and healthy workplace is not only an ethical responsibility but a legal one as well. We provide expert guidance on complying with Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) laws, ensuring that businesses adhere to the safety standards set out in the ERA 2007 and other relevant legislation. We assist businesses in implementing workplace safety measures, conducting risk assessments, and developing health and safety policies that protect employees and minimize the risk of legal penalties. By ensuring compliance with OHS regulations, we help create a safer work environment while safeguarding your business from potential liabilities.
