HR Fundamentals: Enterprise bargaining Part 2 – lodgement, compliance and support

In part 2 of the enterprise agreement topic in our HR Fundamentals webinar series, we cover the important aspects of lodgement, compliance and support.

In part 1 (available to Ai Group members on the Ai Group website), we discussed negotiations, bargaining in good faith and protected industrial action.

In this webinar, we focus on the enterprise agreement application process from lodgement through to the Fair Work Commission's assessment and decision on whether to approve the agreement. We also consider the recent legislative changes to the enterprise agreement process.

This webinar will provide key recommendations and practical guidance on:

• what constitutes a successful vote;
• how and when to lodge an enterprise agreement application;
• how the Fair Work Commission assesses enterprise agreement applications, including consideration of procedural requirements and the better off overall test (BOOT);
• responding to requests for submissions and/or undertakings; and
• the Fair Work Commission’s power to make changes to enterprise agreements.

Case studies will highlight where employers have got it right and not-so-right and what the implications can be.

The webinar will also provide an opportunity for participants to ask questions before (via the Eventbrite registration proess) and during the session.

This webinar is ideal for HR managers, HR staff at all levels and all operational staff who are involved in the enterprise bargaining process.
