Inside IR (Australian Industrial Relations) EP4: The enterprise agreement approval process

In this episode we again change pace from looking at industrial relations reform, and instead explore the practical problems employers are facing in getting enterprise agreements approved. Wendy Fauvel joins Rohan Doyle and takes us through the top six issues we are seeing of late with enterprise agreement approval applications and the process more generally. They also highlight the importance of clarity in the drafting of enterprise agreements given the risk of payroll compliance issues. This will be an area to watch, as it may also be impacted by the impending Secure Jobs, Better Pay reforms.
