What are Enterprise Agreements?

What are Enterprise Agreements?

• A. An agreement between an employer and a group of employees of a specific business
• B. An agreement covering all industries nationwide
• C. A contract between a union and a government
• D. A contract that applies only to executives

Answer: (A)

An Enterprise Agreement is a binding contract negotiated at the level of a single business or enterprise between the employer and a group of employees (often with union or employee representation). It sets the terms and conditions of employment for that specific workplace—such as pay, hours, overtime and leave—so it applies only to that business, not to all industries or workplaces. It isn’t a contract between a union and the government, and it isn’t limited to executives.
