NAT 036/20: COVID-19: New regulation to streamline enterprise agreement variations during the COVID-19 crisis:

A new regulation has been made by the Australian Government to assist employers and employees in varying enterprise agreements during the COVID-19 crisis. Many enterprise agreements were reached in better times and contain provisions which are impeding businesses in responding to the COVID-19 crisis. Where changes to an enterprise agreement are agreed upon between the employer and the employees, the new regulation will enable the changes to be implemented without delay.
