The Commission will speed up all requests to amend the agreements addressed to COVID19Applications@fwc.gov.au. We work as quickly as possible to communicate agreements with employers and publish information below. If you don`t see anything below about your job category, please look back and keep an eye on your email to which we will send you the first notification. In order for an agreement to be approved by the Commission, it must pass the global better-off test (BOOT) and meet other legal requirements. One example in which the Commission can be convinced that there are exceptional circumstances is that the agreement is part of a reasonable strategy to deal with a short-term crisis in the business of an employer covered by the agreement and to help revive that business. If there is no replacement agreement approved by the Commission after the termination of a company agreement, the minimum working conditions shall be laid down in the applicable modern distinction. Before workers vote on an amendment to their agreement, the employer must take some of the same steps as those required for a new company agreement. This implies that staff had access to a copy of the amendment 7 days before the vote. If there is an approved company agreement that replaces the existing agreement, the replacement agreement can only apply when the existing agreement is terminated or its nominal expiry date has expired.
