Fair Work Commission

This is the last day you can give your employees the Notice. The Notice must be given to employees within fourteen (14) days from the notification time.

This must be at least 21 clear days after you gave employees the Notice and 7 clear days after the access period commenced. Note: The 21 days is calculated from the day after the last Notice is provided.

At least 7 clear days prior to the commencement of voting employees must be informed of the time, place and method of voting. Furthermore, the employer may provide each employee with a written copy of the Agreement and any incorporated material during the access period. Alternatively the employer can direct employees to available copies before the start of the access period.

An agreement is made when a majority of employees who cast a valid vote approve the agreement.

The Agreement, along with accompanying forms, should be lodged within 14 days of the Agreement being made.
