Performance Standards and Termination

Your contract of employment may include some information regarding termination, and the clauses therein supersede anything detailed here. However, if your contract makes no mention of the matter, the standards listed here apply.

Performance Standards

All employees are expected to perform their duties to the best of their abilities and to be open to learning new skills if these are required for their job. The employer relies on the information you supply in your resume to be accurate and complete, and will expect performance to meet the education and experience levels you outline in your resume.

Furthermore, all employees are expected to act in good faith in the performance of their duties, paying attention to ensuring the good of the company and utilising all their skills on the company’s behalf.

Staffr is not concerned with your ‘side hustle’ however business resources are never permitted to be used for any business other than Staffr, and all hours an employee spends at Staffr must be spent on Staffr business. Where a ‘side-hustle’ crosses over into the business arena of Staffr, the employee must disclose their conflict of interest to either Bree or Adam and ensure that their first duty of care is to Staffr.

Should an employee be unable to undertake a task they are assigned, they should approach their manager to request instruction and training.

Where an employee fails to meet the standard required of them in their work, the employer will endeavour to assist the employee to achieve the standard. However, if an employee continually fails to meet the standard required, the employer may issue verbal and written warnings and terminate employment as a result of poor performance.

Termination

During any probationary period, either the employee or the employer is entitled to break the employment contract with one hours notice. Notice must be given in writing and a reason for termination is not required.

Once the probationary period has ended, an employee can only be terminated under the Fair Work Act 2009 conditions for small businesses, and those contained in their contract.
