Introduction
When you make an enterprise agreement, you must tell employees about their rights. This includes their right to have a representative during the bargaining process.
Content
To tell employees about their rights, create the Notice of employee representational rights (NERR).
Give access, or a copy, to each employee who:
- the proposed agreement will cover
- is employed at the notification time for the agreement.
The deadline is no more than 14 days after you start the bargaining process.
An employer's bargaining representative may do this.
See Section 173 of the Fair Work Act 2009.
For help to understand the NERR, contact member.assist@fwc.gov.au. We aim to respond within 2 business days.
