An agreement can pay above the award — or quietly below it.

Enterprise agreements have to leave you better off overall than the award, but that test is applied across the whole agreement, not clause by clause. The advisor reads this agreement against the award it sits on, checks the clauses that actually affect your pay, and cites the Fair Work Commission decisions behind the answer. 150 questions a month, cancel anytime.
