WHY EMPLOYMENT IN LEAP
Built for the complexity of employment work
Critical dates, tracked automatically
Never miss the 21-day unfair dismissal or general protections dismissal claim. Matter-specific critical dates are built into your workflows from day one.
AI-powered smart forms
FormFlow and Matter AI complete employment law forms using your matter data, reducing repetitive entry and the risk of error across FWC applications, correspondence and contracts.
Underpayment claims are finally viable
FairPay lets you run underpayment claims profitably. It matches an employee’s role to the award and classification and calculates the legal minimum shift by shift, year by year, in minutes.
Purpose-built matter types
Unfair dismissal and two general protections matter types are live, complete with a full matter roadmap from taking instructions through to conciliation and court proceedings. Contract of employment, independent contractor agreements and policies and procedures are next, released in order of popularity. Expert Guidance written by experienced lawyers is in each of these matter types.
Precedents that pay for themselves
We are adding a suite of lawyer drafted precedents for employment contracts, workplace policies, contractor and service agreements. Use them as a base for your own drafting, or pull the details straight from the matter and send the document to your client as a master template for their business. Fixed-fee work you can turn around the same day.
Built by practitioners
The LEAP employment law team includes qualified lawyers working alongside software engineers and legal technologists with direct experience in employment law and Fair Work Commission practice.
FairPay: Award answers built to be defended
Our app, FairPay by LEAP prices every pay period against the modern award data, drawing on the Fair Work Commission data, the Fair Work Ombudsman guides and the relevant award clauses, with a traceable reference behind every figure. Make sure you get the right answer quickly.
