Elite HR Solutions and the Baker family extend our heartfelt condolences to the Heggaton family, friends and the wider Kojonup community following the tragic passing of James Heggaton in a motor vehicle accident in the early hours of Saturday 23 May.

James was known to us through his involvement with Evergreen Grazing Co and as a shareholder in Kojonup Feeds. He was highly respected within the agricultural community and his passing will be deeply felt by many.

This loss comes less than two years after the passing of his father, Dr Craig Heggaton, making this an especially difficult time for the Heggaton family.

Our thoughts are particularly with James’s mother, Liz Heggaton, during this incredibly difficult time, along with all family members, friends and colleagues grieving this devastating loss.

🌸 International Women’s Day 🌸

Today we recognise and celebrate the incredible contributions of women across our workplaces, industries and communities.

From leadership and innovation to resilience and collaboration, women play a vital role in shaping strong organisations and thriving communities.

International Women’s Day is also a reminder that building respectful, inclusive and supportive workplaces benefits everyone.

Strong leadership, fair opportunities and a culture of respect are not just ideals — they are essential foundations of high-performing workplaces.

Here’s to the women making a difference every day.

💜 Happy International Women’s Day 💜

🚨 HR Advice vs Strategic HR Advice

Post

Many businesses call an HR consultant when something goes wrong.

A dismissal.
A complaint.
A workplace conflict.

But the most effective organisations do something different.

They seek strategic HR advice before issues escalate.

Strategic HR advice helps leaders:

✔ manage risk before it becomes legal exposure
✔ handle difficult staff issues with confidence
✔ build stronger management capability
✔ make better workforce decisions

At Elite HR Solutions, our focus is increasingly on providing Strategic HR Advice to business leaders, not just reacting to problems.

Because good HR fixes issues.

Strategic HR advice prevents them.

📅 Do you know the different types of leave employees are entitled to in Australia?

Under the Fair Work Act, employees may be entitled to several different categories of leave, including:

✔️ Annual Leave – Paid time off for rest and recreation
✔️ Personal / Carer’s Leave – When employees are sick or caring for an unwell or injured family member 🤒
✔️ Compassionate Leave – When a close family member passes away or suffers a life-threatening illness
✔️ Parental Leave – For the birth or adoption of a child 👶
✔️ Community Service Leave – Including emergency services and jury duty 🚒⚖️

In addition, employees may also be entitled to Long Service Leave, which is governed by state legislation rather than the Fair Work Act.

Because different rules apply depending on the state or territory, understanding long service leave obligations can sometimes be confusing 🔎.

Getting leave entitlements right is essential for compliance, payroll accuracy, and employee trust.

Elite HR Solutions assists businesses with interpreting leave entitlements, employment obligations, and workplace compliance.

❓ Is your employee award-covered… or award-free?

Many people assume every employee in Australia is covered by a modern award or enterprise agreement — but that’s not always the case.

Some roles fall outside award coverage and are classified as award or agreement-free employees.

This often includes senior roles such as managers, executives and CEOs.
However, this is not always the case, and many managerial roles are still covered by an award depending on the duties performed and the industry. It’s always prudent to check carefully rather than assume 🔎.

Importantly, award-free doesn’t mean rule-free ⚖️.

Employers must still comply with:
✔️ National Employment Standards (NES)
✔️ National Minimum Wage (where applicable)
✔️ Contractual employment terms 📝

Understanding whether an employee is award-covered or award-free is critical to getting pay, conditions and employment contracts right — and avoiding costly compliance mistakes 🚨.

Elite HR Solutions regularly assists businesses to interpret award coverage, assess employment classifications, and structure compliant employment contracts.

WA Labour Day – Monday 2 March 2026

Today we recognise the contribution of working people across Western Australia and the foundations of fair and safe workplaces.

Labour Day is a reminder that many of the standards we now rely on — fair pay, reasonable hours, and safe working conditions — exist because of those who advocated for better.

For business owners and leaders, it’s also a timely opportunity to reflect on how we support our teams and continue building strong, compliant and respectful workplaces.

Wishing everyone across WA a safe and well-earned long weekend. 👏

Toolbox Meetings: Small Investment ⏱️ Big Return 📈

A short, structured Toolbox Meeting can make a powerful difference to how your team performs each day.

In 10–15 minutes you can:
🛠️ Set clear priorities for the day or week
🦺 Address safety risks before they become incidents
📋 Allocate people, plant and resources effectively
💬 Create a feedback loop so employees can raise issues early

When teams know what matters most, who is responsible, and what the risks are — productivity improves and mistakes reduce.

Regular Toolbox Meetings also:
✔️ Strengthen accountability
✔️ Improve communication
✔️ Reinforce safe work practices
✔️ Give leaders visibility on emerging issues

Consistency is key. A brief, focused meeting delivered the same way each week builds structure, clarity and trust.

If your business doesn’t currently run Toolbox Meetings — or they’ve become unstructured and ineffective — it may be time to reset the approach.

Elite HR Solutions supports WA businesses to implement practical workplace systems that improve performance and reduce risk.
