Body
The Secure Jobs Better Pay Act is changing how employers and employees bargain and make agreements. On 6 June 2023, new enterprise bargaining and agreement making provisions will commence. The amendments include:
- changes to the better off overall test (BOOT)
- a Statement of principles on genuine agreement
- changes to multi-enterprise agreements.
See changes to making agreements for more information.
On commencement of the new provisions, we will apply different tests when approving your agreement. The tests that apply will depend on when you started bargaining and when the agreement was made.
To help you comply with the legislative tests that apply to your application we have developed the ‘Understand the tests that apply to agreements’ tool. You can enter the relevant timeframes to determine which tests will apply to you.
