The Site Shed
Most tradie business owners don’t realise how exposed they are when it comes to HR.
You can have contracts in place, pay people well, and still end up on the wrong side of Fair Work, simply because the setup doesn’t match how the work actually happens.
In Episode 478 of The Site Shed Podcast, Matt sits down with Karen Hillen to unpack what Fair Work really cares about in trade businesses.
We cover:
✔ The real difference between employees and contractors
✔ Why contracts alone won’t protect you
✔ Trade award entitlements many tradies don’t know exist
✔ When redundancy pay applies (even if someone resigns)
✔ How to handle people issues before they escalate
If you’ve got staff, subcontractors, or offshore team members, this episode is worth your time.
