What was decided
The Fair Work Commission approved the enterprise agreement. It will operate from August 11, 2026, and expire on August 4, 2030. Several model terms were deemed to be included due to their absence in the original agreement, as per sections 202(4) and 205(2) of the Fair Work Act. The Plumbing and Fire Sprinklers Award 2020 workplace delegates’ rights term was also incorporated.
What it means for employers
the Applicant must ensure they include compliant model flexibility and consultation terms, or the Commission will incorporate them. They should review their agreement to ensure it aligns with National Employment Standards (NES) entitlements.
What it means for employees
Employees covered by this agreement benefit from the inclusion of mandatory model terms ensuring flexibility and consultation rights. The more beneficial entitlements under the NES will apply if there's a conflict with the agreement’s terms.
