In Adelaide

A gentle start for Adelaide owner-operators

Taking on a first or fifth employee brings obligations that owners often learn about too late. Small business HR in Adelaide sets up correct pay, leave and records from the start, so a small problem does not turn into a costly dispute.

Kedra Digi works with Adelaide businesses remotely from Perth. You get a named contact, a written plan and regular check-ins, and in-person meetings are available when you want them and it makes sense for the project.

  • Contract and award checked
  • Short policies in plain words
  • Records kept properly

Common situations

What Adelaide clients usually ask us to solve

The first employee

Pay, super, leave and records all apply from day one. We set them up properly.

A growing team of five to twenty

A family business with relatives on the payroll

Award

The right award changes pay and conditions, so identifying it correctly is vital.

Casuals

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers to the questions we hear most.

Ask your own →
Do I need contracts for everyone?
Yes, and they should match the right award, because pay and conditions depend on it.
Can you set up my first hire?
Yes, from the contract to a first-day checklist, so the start feels organised for you and them.
Do I need a handbook?
A short set of clear policies is usually enough for a small team, and we keep it to the essentials.
What if I get it wrong?
We help you correct it early, which is much easier and cheaper than leaving the problem to grow.
Can I ring with questions?
Yes, and we reply in plain language, usually by email, with the next step set out clearly.
Do you cover casual staff?
Yes, including loadings and the rules around casual conversion, which small employers often miss.
What does a small business need for HR?
A correct contract, the right award or agreement, pay and super set up, a simple induction, a few policies and a place to keep records.
How do I know which award applies?
It depends on the work each person does and your industry. We check coverage and classification and confirm with the Fair Work Ombudsman where unclear.
Can you help with a probation period?
Yes. We set up a fair process with check-ins and notes, so a decision is clear and defensible.
What if an employee is not performing?
We help you plan a fair conversation, document it and follow a sensible process, escalating to legal advice if the risk is high.
