47 When a modern award applies to an employer, employee, organisation or outworker entity
When a modern award applies to an employee, employer, organisation or outworker entity
A modern award applies to an employee, employer, organisation or outworker entity if:
the modern award covers the employee, employer, organisation or outworker entity; and
the modern award is in operation; and
no other provision of this Act provides, or has the effect, that the modern award does not apply to the employee, employer, organisation or outworker entity.
Section 57 provides that a modern award does not apply to an employee (or to an employer, or an employee organisation, in relation to the employee) in relation to particular employment at a time when an enterprise agreement applies to the employee in relation to that employment.
In a modern award, coverage of an outworker entity must be expressed to relate only to outworker terms: see subsection 143(4).
Modern awards do not apply to high income employees
However, a modern award does not apply to an employee (or to an employer, or an employee organisation, in relation to the employee) at a time when the employee is a high income employee.
Modern awards apply to employees in relation to particular employment
A reference in this Act to a modern award applying to an employee is a reference to the award applying to the employee in relation to particular employment.
