Enterprise Agreement
The University, staff and union representatives have concluded negotiations on the new Enterprise Agreement. It is expected that the new Agreement will assist the University to meet the compliance requirements for funding available under the Federal Government’s Higher Education Workplace Relations Requirements (HEWRRs).
The Workplace Relations Act 1996 requires that collective agreements be approved through a ballot process, which provides staff with the opportunity to vote on the Agreements.
Ballot Process
The University must make the following documents available to staff for a period of at least 7 days prior to conducting the ballot:
- Proposed Macquarie University Enterprise Agreement [PDF 884Kb] [RTF 1.8Mb] [RTF 1.7Mb text only]
- OEA 'Information Statement for Employees (Collective Agreements)'
- 'How and When Statement' (this is required by the Workplace Relations Act 1996 and describes how and when the ballot will be conducted)
The ballot for approving the Agreements will be conducted by a show of hands at a meeting to be held on Monday 28 August.
If a majority of those staff that cast a valid vote decide that they want to approve the collective agreement, the agreement will be approved and then lodged with the Office of the Employment Advocate.
