Fair Work Regulations 2009

For subsection 210(4) of the Act, this regulation prescribes the requirements for the signing of a variation to an enterprise agreement.

For paragraph 210(2)(a) of the Act, a copy of a variation to an enterprise agreement is a signed copy only if:

it is signed by:

the employer covered by the agreement as varied; and

at least 1 representative of the employees covered by the agreement as varied; and

it includes:

the full name and address of each person who signs the variation; and

an explanation of the person’s authority to sign the variation.

Paragraph 210(2)(a) of the Act requires an application for approval of a variation to an enterprise agreement to be accompanied by a signed copy of the variation.

Unless the representative of the employees covered by the agreement as varied is an employee in a class of employees who will be bound by the agreement as varied, the representative’s signature is not taken to indicate that the representative intends to be bound by the agreement as varied.
