Compulsory Agreement
|
In general while a certified or approved agreement is in place it prevails, to the extent of any inconsistency, over an Award. It is not compulsory for an employment agreement to be certified or approved. However the employer must be careful to ensure that the agreement does not breach any legislation or the Award to which the employee belongs. The Individual agreement contained in this service has been drafted for those employers and employees who do not wish to seek approval. In other words, the agreement is legally binding without obtaining the commission's approval. This service has also included a consultants or contractors agreement.
