About the course

Employing people can be one of the most rewarding parts of running a franchise business. It is also one of your most important responsibilities.

Brought to you by Franchise Education Australia and HR Central, this course introduces the foundations of people management in clear, practical language. You’ll learn about common employment arrangements, essential workplace documents, employer responsibilities and the approved franchise systems that support consistent people decisions.

You do not need to become an employment law expert. The focus is on helping you understand what to check, what to record and when a decision requires additional care or professional support.

Understand your employer responsibilities

Learn what being an employer involves, including pay and entitlements, workplace safety, fair decisions, clear communication and accurate employment records.

Start employment correctly

Understand common employment arrangements, the importance of worker classification and the documents and information employees should receive when employment begins.

Know when to pause & seek support

Recognise higher-risk workplace matters, follow an appropriate response process and identify the franchisor, payroll, HR, safety or legal support you may need.
