Awards and Agreements

Workplace Agreements

Workplace agreements increase the emphasis on direct bargaining between you and your employees, allowing you greater productivity in the workplace. Workplace agreements have been simplified so there is no time consuming certification or approval process. Once a workplace agreement starts to operate, it replaces any award or workplace agreement that would otherwise apply to the employee.

Workplace agreements can override employment conditions in state or territory laws, such as:

  • Payment of leave loading – it can be incorporated into the normal rate of pay
  • Allowances
  • Penalty rates, overtime, weekend rates or allowances – some awards provide for over 70 different rates of pay depending on when an employee works. We know that businesses find this very confusing and complex. A workplace agreement can simplify all these rates whilst still maintaining the same and very often better conditions for employees.

Contracts of employment, letters of offer – otherwise referred to as common law contracts, cannot override award terms and conditions – only registered workplace agreements can do that for you.

Make a list of all the things you find difficult, inflexible or down right unworkable in your Award and then make an appointment with one of our Workplace Relations Advisors to discuss the best options for your business in implementing a workplace agreement.
