As a Master Electrician you have unlimited Employer Advice support when you need it – all included as part of your membership with no hidden costs.
We appreciate it is incredibly overwhelming to keep abreast of government regulations, penalties and fines, as well as compliance – all which can potentially cost you thousands of dollars. The Australian employment compliance landscape is complex – so let us support you to achieve peace of mind and protect your business.
Our members also have access to a suite of fact sheets and employment guidance reports which have been developed to equip you with the tools you need to successfully manage your employees.
If you are approached by organisations providing employer advice services, before signing anything, please call MEA. It has been reported that members have signed expensive ($9,000 pa+) 5 year, locked-in contracts for services that they already receive as a Master Electrician.
Call MEA before you sign so we can discuss the options with you!
