Interaction of award terms and the NES

As a general rule, modern awards may not contain provisions excluding the NES or any provision of the NES. However, modern awards may include terms that are expressly permitted by Pt 2-2 of the FW Act, as well as terms that are ancillary/supplementary to the operation of the NES.
