An enterprise agreement is a formal contract between an employer and a group of employees, often represented by a union. It outlines the terms and conditions of employment, including wages, working hours, and other workplace rights. These agreements are designed to ensure fair treatment and can provide benefits that go beyond the minimum standards set by law. Enterprise agreements are negotiated to meet the specific needs of a workplace, allowing for flexibility in employment conditions. They must be approved by the relevant government authority, such as the Fair Work Commission in Australia, to ensure they comply with legal requirements and protect employee rights.
