About My HR Partner
My HR Partner – Mission
At My HR Partner, we empower small to medium businesses with flexible and expert HR solutions. We offer a fresh approach, delivering clear, cost-effective support without the rigid contracts you don't need. From our unique online membership and comprehensive retainers to a la carte services, we simplify compliance and management, giving you the confidence and freedom to grow your business.
As your on-demand HR Manager, we deliver competitively priced, reliable & practical HR solutions for professional service business owners and teams across Australia. By tapping into our comprehensive industry experience, My HR Partner actively supports you with expert HR advice & assistance, whenever you need it, while ensuring you are compliant with current workplace legislation.
We have trusted Employment Law partners to assist with any employment law issues outside of our scope.
You speak directly with one of our HR experts, not a call centre or generic phone advisory service. We provide tailored,
personalised service & advice, and vitally, we deliver consistent information throughout our relationship with your
business. We’re proactive in offering a range of potential options and solutions, so you never have to worry about
an HR problem while you’re working with us.
Most business owners & managers don’t have the time, knowledge or skills to manage HR themselves. Our role is to
help you eliminate the worry of dealing with HR issues, wasting hours of valuable time waiting on the phone for Fair
Work or trying to determine whether you’re doing the right thing by your employees.
My HR Partner provides a higher level of support and advice than many similar services. While we happily answer
questions, providing advice and guidance quickly and efficiently, we also offer for your employees to speak with us
directly, once authorised by you. This can help resolve staff concerns before they even become an issue.
Engaging our service is like having an HR manager on staff, at around 10% of the cost of employing one. Consider
us to be an insurance policy for your HR requirements, with great return on investment.

What is a Casual Employment Information Statement?
What is a Casual Employment Information Statement?
The Casual Employment Information Statement (CEIS) is a statement issued by the Fair Work Ombudsman and it provides new casual employees with information about their conditions of employment.
The CEIS has information about:
the definition of what a casual employee is
when an employer has to offer casual conversion to a casual employee (this means offering a casual employee a permanent position)
when an employer doesn’t have to offer casual conversion
when a casual employee can request casual conversion
casual conversion entitlements of casual employees employed by small business employers (a small business is a business that has less than 15 employees), these entitlements are different to a large business that has 15 or more employees
the role of the Fair Work Commission to deal with disputes about casual conversion.
When do I give my casual employee a copy of the Casual Employment Information Statement?
As an employer, you have to give every new casual employee a Casual Employment Information Statement before, or as soon as possible after, they start their new job.
You also have to give every new casual employee a copy of the Fair Work Information Statement (FWIS) at the same time. So as casual employee gets both statements, and a permanent employee only gets a copy of the FWIS. You can read more about the Fair Work Information Statement in our blog about the FWIS.
You must also provide the CEIS to casual employees at the following times during the employment relationship:
for small business employers (with less than 15 employees) after 12 months of employment
for other employers (with 15 employees or more) – after 6 and 12 months of employment, and then after every 12 months of employment.
Providing employees with the CEIS
Employers can give casual employees the CEIS:
in person
by mail
by email
by emailing a link to the CEIS that is available of the Fair Work Ombudsman website
by emailing a link to a copy of the CEIS available on the employer’s intranet or shared drive (making sure you have the latest version)
by fax
by any other method.
You need to give casual employees the most up to date version of the CEIS that's in place when you issue the CEIS. The CEIS is updated regularly so you should check regularly to make sure you give your employees the correct, up to date version.
