Workplace Agreements

WorkChoices has simplified and streamlined the process for making workplace agreements making it easier to achieve flexibility and simplicity in your employment arrangements.  The two main types of workplace agreements are Australian Workplace Agreements (AWA) and Employee Collective Agreements (ECA).  An AWA is an agreement between an individual employee and the employer, while an ECA is an agreement negotiated between a group of employees in a workplace and the employer. The QHA’s Employment Relations Department has assisted over 100 members with the drafting, negotiation and approval of workplace agreements. 

The process of agreement making involves a one-on-one consultation with ERD’s highly qualified and trained staff to ensure an agreement which meets both the hotel’s needs as well as the legislations enforced by the Office of Employment Advocate is created.  Agreement making is provided on a fee for service basis.  QHA will issue a costs agreement, including an estimate of our fees, which must be signed and returned before we will commence any chargeable work.
