Genevieve Stutz - Truglo Electrics

Constructive Legal Solutions were excellent for us in assisting with enterprise Agreement and went out of her way to navigate us through the complex nature of EA bargaining.

Jarrod Bennell - Core Contracting Group

We are so grateful to the lawyer for her assistance in drafting sub contractor contracts tailored to our business. The process was easy from start to finish and the lawyer was informative and clear explaining all aspects of the contracts. The pricing for this service was very affordable which is an important consideration for small business owners.

Myers Electrical Pty Ltd

Engaging, entertaining, thought provoking……

In the current climate and the crazy litigious society we live in, it is good to know that NECA have expanded the services offered to members with the lawyer and her team.

A “must attend” event for NECA members and a gentle hint for members to let non-members know what they are missing out on by not being a member….

Thanks to all who made the event possible and thanks to the lawyer for the laid back approach to the minefield of employee / employer relationships.

Darren Klashovski

General Manager of Praxis Group

The lawyer provided us with clear, sound and prompt advice – a huge thank you, and happy to have an engaging law firm as easily accessible as Constructive Legal Solutions.

Frequently asked questions

Have questions? We are here to help.

To have a EA a business needs at least 2 employees, if you don’t have employees then you will need to implement a ‘Greenfields Agreement’.

A Greenfields Agreement is an Enterprise Agreement that is for a new business/project that at the time of lodging an agreement, the business has not employed any employees as yet.

More information on such an agreement can be found here for your reading: https://www.fwc.gov.au/greenfields-agreement

With a Greenfields agreement, a union must be a party to it. Meaning a union will be involved in its bargaining, so that is something you need to consider.

Or you can operate under your Industry Award until you have enough employees to start a new EA (non-union).
