Our services
Employment Relations
Our team of experienced and qualified Employment Relations Specialists have been advising Catholic employers for over 20 years. We understand your workplace and the desire to balance religious and moral obligations with business needs.
We can draft your complex correspondence, attend conciliation talks and manage disciplinary and other complex matters with you. CER’s suite of services means we can provide you with a streamlined service for all your workplace needs.
Legal Services
We can help you with a matter from start to finish, from simple Employment Relations advice, all the way through to mediation, investigation and complex legal advice. We can also provide representation on your behalf in a court of law.
Whether it’s advice on what should or shouldn’t be included in a legally binding document or representing you when things go wrong, we are here to help.
Human Resources
We can help you review, refine and develop your teams to secure optimum results for your organisation.
Not only do we provide advice on workforce planning and restructuring, but we also provide bespoke training options to develop the skills of your existing team.
We provide employment contracts and can help with payroll and leave and entitlement queries. We can work with you to adapt our template policies and procedures to ensure you have all the necessary checks and balances in place.
Industrial Relations
We are here to answer any questions or queries you have about your existing awards and agreements, help resolve industrial disputes and act as your bargaining representative. Our approach ensures you receive a clear strategy, timely communication and feedback.
