Allied Health HR Training: Contracts & Wages

Why is HR compliance regarding contracts and wages important in an allied health practice or multidisciplinary health clinic?

Running an allied health practice or multidisciplinary health clinic comes with many responsibilities — providing excellent care for clients, managing employees, and staying compliant with workplace laws. For practice owners and managers, getting HR compliance right regarding contracts and wages isn’t just good business practice, it’s essential to avoid costly mistakes.

What is Allied Health HR Training: Contracts & Wages?

The Contracts & Wages training session is part of our Allied Health HR Training Series, designed to give you the practical knowledge and tools you need to manage your practice confidently and reduce compliance risks in the areas of human resources, employee relations, industrial relations and employment law.

Our Contracts & Wages training session focuses on HR essentials for practice owners, including legal considerations and compliance risks when it comes to employing staff, paying the correct entitlements and mitigating the headache of avoidable HR and payroll errors.

Why This Training Matters

To ensure you are paying your workers their correct entitlements, it’s important that practice managers, payroll teams and rostering staff receive up-to-date training. This training supports participants to navigate key areas of HR and payroll compliance such as:

• Working arrangements including contractor vs. employee

• Wages and entitlements under the Health Professionals and Support Services (HPSS) Award

• Employment contracts and employment agreements

• Legislative reforms including changes to the Fair Work Act and modern awards

HR and payroll non-compliance can have serious consequences, including back payments, penalties, reputational damage and even legal liability. This training helps you avoid those risks and protect your practice.
