About the Webinar

The continued cooperation and goodwill of employees is often an understated but critical aspect to a business’s operation and success. It is therefore important not to overlook employees (particularly key personnel) and plan for all employment law considerations when buying a business. This session will guide lawyers through what to look out for with respect to employees and employment law considerations when purchasing a business. In particular, this session will look at:

  • Due diligence issues:
    • ascertaining accrued entitlements
    • ensuring compliance with the transfer of business rules under the Fair Work Act
  • How to correctly identify employee relationships and issues which can arise from the mis-categorisation of employees
  • The types of leave entitlements to be considered, how to check compliance with awards including capitalisation of overtime payments to avoid future claims for purchaser
  • Restraint of trade and exclusivity issues
  • When can an employee argue that their employment has been terminated as part of a business acquisition?
