Have questions? We are here to help.
To have a EA a business needs at least 2 employees, if you don’t have employees then you will need to implement a ‘Greenfields Agreement’.
A Greenfields Agreement is an Enterprise Agreement that is for a new business/project that at the time of lodging an agreement, the business has not employed any employees as yet.
More information on such an agreement can be found here for your reading: https://www.fwc.gov.au/greenfields-agreement
With a Greenfields agreement, a union must be a party to it. Meaning a union will be involved in its bargaining, so that is something you need to consider.
