Managing people within the law is one of the biggest risks any employer faces. A single procedural mistake in a dismissal, a missing employment contract or an outdated policy can lead to costly disputes, back-pay awards and reputational damage. Ticking Seconds provides practical, affordable labour consultation that helps employers get it right the first time.

  • Drafting and reviewing employment contracts, job descriptions and workplace policies (disciplinary code, leave, overtime, remote work, social media and more)
  • Guidance on fair disciplinary and incapacity procedures, including charge sheets, notices and hearing documentation
  • Chairing and initiating internal disciplinary hearings
  • Advice on retrenchments and restructuring (Section 189 consultation processes)
  • Grievance handling and dispute prevention
