If 10 per cent of a workforce, or 1000 workers agree, a new Fair Pay Agreement can be enacted.
Any resulting agreement will set minimum ordinary time wages and conditions, overtime, penalty rates across the country.
The agreements will cover all workers – union and non-union
If the parties can't agree during the initial bargaining process there will be a dispute resolution process and further bargaining will occur. If the parties still cannot agree the Employment Relations Authority will simply make a ruling on the terms and both parties will be bound by it.
