Employment crises don't wait for business hours.
It is 6pm and you have just had an employee walk out. Or a staff member has lodged a complaint about another team member. Or you have received a Fair Work letter.
In any of these situations, you need an answer now — not next Tuesday when your HR consultant has availability. Getting it wrong in the moment can cost you thousands in liability, settlements, and lost time. Getting it right protects your business and your people.

Fair Work compliance carries personal liability — getting it wrong is not just expensive, it is personally risky. Particularly valuable for businesses in complex Award environments or businesses going through change.

Advice with Business Context
Your employment advisor has access to your payroll data (People Hub), your financial position (Finance Hub), and your operational context (Operations Hub). When you ask whether you can afford to make a role redundant, the answer draws on financial modelling, not just legal compliance. People decisions are made with full business context.

Frequently asked questions
No. Employsure sells insurance-backed advice with long-term contracts and often generic guidance. Valont provides ongoing advisory as part of your People Hub subscription, specific to your business and Award, with no lock-in. And unlike Employsure, your advisor coordinates with your finance, operations, and growth teams.
Valont provides employment advisory, not legal representation. If a matter requires a lawyer (e.g., a Fair Work hearing), we will refer you to a trusted employment lawyer and brief them on your situation so you are not starting from scratch.
Urgent matters (termination in progress, Fair Work response deadline): same day. Non-urgent queries: next business day. Your advisor knows your business, so responses are fast and specific.
Yes. We have experience across all major Modern Awards and common enterprise agreements. If your Award has unusual provisions, we will flag them during onboarding.
Yes. Your advisor is assigned to your business, so they already know your situation. You will not get conflicting advice from different advisors or have to re-brief someone new each time.
Our advisory is based on the Fair Work Act, Modern Awards, and established case law. If your situation changes or new case law emerges, we will update your approach. We are not covered by professional indemnity insurance (like lawyers), so it is important to understand that our advice is advisory only, not legal advice.
Yes. We provide guidance on workplace disputes, grievances, and complaints, including discrimination and harassment matters. If the matter escalates to a Fair Work complaint or legal action, we brief your lawyer on the background.
All advisor conversations are confidential and subject to attorney-client privilege where applicable. Your advisor will not discuss your matters with anyone outside your business without your consent.
