Enterprise Agreements

Enterprise agreements contain minimum terms of employment for a collection of employees in the workplace. These terms are often more favourable than those found in the National Employment Standards or a modern award.

An enterprise agreement can govern notice payments, redundancy payments, dispute resolution, leave entitlements, minimum rates of pay, flexible working arrangements and much more. Employees are sometimes unaware they are covered by an enterprise agreement and therefore unaware of some of the rights and entitlements that they may be able to access.

If you believe that your employer has contravened an enterprise agreement that applies to your employment, you may be entitled to recover compensation from the Fair Work Commission or the Federal Circuit Court of Australia.

From the very first conversation with Trent Hancock I found that he was extremely knowledgable and experienced with regards to my employment situation.Trent took the time to read all of my documents in detail so nothing was missed, and he was happy to take the time to explain anything I was unsure of before offering his considered opinions on the various legal paths I could take, along with their likely outcomes, and he was spot on with that advice.Trent was also very up front about the costs of his service, and his invoices always matched what he had previously quoted.Trent was professional, calming, and informative, and I have to say that Jewell Hancock were everything I could have hoped for. I would have no hesitation in engaging them again and would heartily recommend them to anyone requiring an employment law specialist.

Very happy with the outcome Trent achieved representing me in an employment related issue. Trent’s knowledge and expertise were instrumental in achieving a great result in a short period of time. Trent was forthright and straightforward from the very beginning. Highly recommended!

I was recommended to Andrew Jewell from a close friend and mentor. I can honestly say that Andrew has very strong ethical standards about his approach and his honesty is second to none. Andrew is very empathic and he really cares what he does for his clients. He's extremely knowledgeable about employment law and both my friend and I had successful outcomes with Andrew. I couldn't recommend a better person than Andrew to handle your employment issues. You don't need to look any further, he is the best you'll get. Thank you Andrew for all you have done.

I worked with Andrew on behalf of my cousin on a wage underpayment case and would like to highly recommend him. Throughout this very distressing situation Andrew was wonderfully supportive, understanding and respectful. His communication was excellent and clear to the lay person. His negotiation skills are exemplary and we achieved an excellent outcome in a surprising short period. It appeared that continuing the case could have been beneficial but Andrew advised that he may be the biggest beneficiary through additional fees and I felt that a less honorable lawyer would have pushed us in that direction. Overall Andrew restored dignity to my cousin following years of mistreatment by an unscrupulous employer. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
