Document background
Industrial Agreements are fundamental instruments in Australian workplace relations, used to establish legally binding employment terms and conditions between employers and employees. These agreements must comply with the Fair Work Act 2009 and pass the Better Off Overall Test (BOOT) administered by the Fair Work Commission. An Industrial Agreement typically operates for 3-4 years and covers essential aspects such as wages, working hours, leave entitlements, dispute resolution procedures, and other employment conditions. It provides clarity and certainty for all parties while ensuring compliance with Australian employment law requirements. The agreement must be negotiated with employee representatives and approved by the Fair Work Commission before coming into effect.
