EBAs in Australia
Unlike awards, which provide similar standards for all workers in the entire industry covered by a specific award, collective agreements usually apply only to workers for one employer - although on occasion a short-term collaborative agreement (for example, on a building-site) yields a multi-employer/employee agreement.
Parties endorse proposed enterprise bargaining agreements between themselves (in the case of employers the matter goes to a vote). Fair Work Australia then assess them for approval. (Under the Fair Work Act 2009, agreements now renamed "enterprise agreements" and are lodged with Fair Work Australia to assess entitlements against the modern award and be checked for breaches of the Act.)
