Coverage, application and operation of enterprise agreements
Part 2-4 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) (FW Act) includes provisions dealing with the coverage and application of enterprise agreements that have been approved by the Fair Work Commission (FWC).
The distinction between an enterprise agreement covering a person and applying to a person is critical to the legal effect of the agreement. This is because an enterprise agreement does not impose obligations or provide entitlements unless it applies to a person, but it cannot apply to a person unless it covers them.
See Coverage, application and operation of enterprise agreements.
