When you run a corporation or private business you leave yourself open to scrutiny over employment practices. Business Liability also covers accusations of theft by employees or third parties. It is your responsibility to ensure that you keep up to date with laws and protocols that might require management training. Not keeping managers up to date could even be considered criminal behaviour.
Are your practices are out of date? If so, you can be liable for breaches of environmental protection orders or WHS. You might also be open to claims involving breach of contract. Tax audits and reviews can be costly due to employee time lost to normal business. The right policy helps to mitigate those costs before, during and after investigations and avoid accusations of breach of contract.
