This is your pause before you hire.
The moment where you stop guessing and start making powerful, informed decisions.

This toolkit walks you through who you are actually engaging, the risks sitting beneath the surface, and the structure that best protects your business. It helps you determine whether you need an employee or a contractor, with clarity and confidence.

No more grey areas.
No more “I hope this is right.”
Just grounded, defensible decisions.

• Step by step assessment framework
• Clear legal risk indicators
• Smart red flag prompts
• Defined outcome pathways
• Practical action guidance

For business owners who want to get it right before it becomes expensive.

This is for you if you’ve ever thought:
“Is this person actually a contractor?”
“Should this role really be an employee?”
“Am I exposed here?”

It’s the tool that gives you certainty before the stakes get high.

To help you avoid misclassification, disputes, fines and future stress.
It exists to protect your business by:

• Giving you clarity before you commit
• Helping you structure roles properly
• Reducing legal and financial risk
• Letting you hire with confidence, not fear

This is how you lead from power, not panic.

These templates are your power tools.

Practical, fill in the blanks documents you can
customise and use inside your own business.
Purchasing a template or downloading a free resource from Her Legal Edge does not, on its own, create a lawyer client relationship and it is not legal advice.

A lawyer client relationship is only formed if and when you formally engage Her Legal Edge for
legal services, such as through a paid consult, retainer or agreed scope of work.

These tools are built to give you a strong, intelligent foundation for common commercial and employment scenarios. But no two businesses are the same. Your structure, industry, location and risk profile may require specific clauses or considerations that sit outside a standard template.

By using our templates, you acknowledge that they may not capture every nuance of
your unique situation and that it is your responsibility to review, adapt and ensure the
document is right for your business.

If you want tailored provisions, industry specific advice or absolute certainty, we recommend formally engaging us or another qualified lawyer for personalised support.

Our employment templates are created for use in Australia only and are not suitable for overseas businesses. Employment law varies significantly between countries and you should engage a lawyer in your country of residence to prepare employment agreements for your business.

Each purchase includes a single user licence. You can reuse your templates as many times as you like within your own business. They are not to be shared, resold, distributed or used for any third party.

Every legitimate purchase supports the creation of high calibre, accessible legal tools for business owners who are ready to do things properly. We appreciate your support and ask that you respect the value behind the work.
