Enterprise agreements – Amending Act
Table of contents
Introduction
On 11 December 2018, the Fair Work Amendment (Repeal of 4 Yearly Review and Other Measures) Act 2018 received Royal Assent. On 12 December 2018 the amendments in Schedule 2 regarding procedural requirements in enterprise bargaining commenced.
The Amending Act amends, among others, section 188 of the Fair Work Act 2009, to confer discretion on the Fair Work Commission to approve an enterprise agreement despite minor procedural or technical errors.
In order to provide some early clarity around the operation of the new section 188(2), the President of the Commission has referred a small number of matters currently before the Commission to a Full Bench for hearing on 21 December 2018.
