Testimonials

Since my first meeting with Damian, Employment Law Assist has provided invaluable guidance and support in a variety of personnel matters. I'd recommend his services without hesitation to any other small business. He has thoroughly reviewed documents, policies and procedures to bring us completely into line with current standards. I've especially appreciated the calm voice at the end of a phone line providing practical steps to resolving personnel issues and limiting further headaches.

I always knew it was important to have Contracts of Employment in place, but due to business pressures it was always on a back burner. When ELA contacted me I took the opportunity to have the work done for me. The documents were written by Damian Watts in such a way that explained not just what the employee could expect when working for me but also explain my rights as the employer. It's given me great peace of mind to have these documents in place.

Our company and staffing levels have steadily grown and with growth our procedures have had to become more robust. Being paranoid about employment legislation red tape we have looked at all the options available to help safeguard us against potential problems. Damian at ELA has been fantastic offering a comprehensive easy to work with package at a reasonable price. We now have a peace of mind that was previously lacking.

We run a busy boarding kennels and cattery and employ both full-time and part-time staff. Damian prepared Statements of Terms and Conditions of Employment for our employees and an Employee Handbook. He has also given us advice about a number of employment issues. We have found the service provided by Damian to be very efficient and professional, and it has been of great benefit to us to be able to obtain advice quickly on such a complex and rapidly changing area of law and practice.

When we engaged the services of ELA we already had a general Contract of Employment in place. However it had not been updated for a number of years. Damian Watts created an upgraded Contract including an Employee Handbook outlining the Company's professional standards and written specifically with our business needs in mind.

We have used Damian's services for 3 years and he has helped us on several occasions with employment issues. He remains a constant source of advice and help and sees problems through to conclusion. He always makes himself available (even when on holiday) and knowing we can call upon him at any time is very reassuring to a small business. Apart from this, he is a thoroughly nice person to work with. Linda Walshaw, Director
