Fair Work Act 2009

If a variation of a multi‑enterprise agreement is made as mentioned in section 216E, one of the following must apply to the FWC for approval of the variation:

the employer mentioned in paragraph 216E(1)(a);

an affected employee;

an employee organisation covered by the agreement that is entitled to represent the industrial interests of an affected employee.

The application must be accompanied by any declarations that are required by the procedural rules to accompany the application.

The application must be made:

within 14 days after the variation is made; or

if in all the circumstances the FWC considers it fair to extend that period—within such further period as the FWC allows.

The regulations may prescribe requirements relating to the signing of variations of enterprise agreements.
