HR Connect

HR Connect provides SME HR Support, an on-demand HR and Work, Health and Safety subscription for Australian small businesses, run under a single monthly invoice of 250 dollars plus GST.

• Engagements begin with an HR compliance health check, reviewing performance, stability, compliance risk, team structure and operational functions before any advice is given.
• Subscribers get access to hundreds of compliance documents and HR templates, including contracts, letters, performance management tools and workplace health and safety resources, plus dedicated local consultants for ongoing issues.
• The service is backed by Employment Innovations, which states it has worked in Australian workplace relations and employment law since 1992 and is underpinned by EI Legal, a specialist employment law firm.
• Subscriptions can be supercharged by adding Employment Hero HR software for access to records from any device.

Best for: Australian small businesses that want ongoing HR and WHS advice, document access and legal backing bundled into one predictable monthly fee rather than paying for ad hoc consulting.

HR Connect also delivers Company Unfair Dismissal Representation for small business subscribers dealing with contested employee claims across Australia.

• Complimentary representation is provided up to but not including conciliation for alleged unfair dismissal, adverse action, discrimination, bullying and harassment claims.
• Representation is delivered through the backing of EI Legal, the specialist employment law firm underpinning the HR Connect subscription.
• Support is bundled into the same monthly subscription that covers HR advice and compliance document access, so businesses are not billed separately for the claim response.

Best for: small businesses already subscribed to HR Connect that face an unfair dismissal, adverse action, discrimination, bullying or harassment claim and need representation without a separate legal engagement.
