When is the deadline for application for approval of a greenfields enterprise agreement?
The catalogue records a 14 days period from the day the greenfields agreement is made (s 182(3): when signed by each employer and each relevant employee organisation). This draft page remains free only until its source, worked example and limits are reviewed.
In preparation
The existing catalogue does not yet have a registered adapter or source evidence for this exact question. It remains available as a public preparation page only.
Example pending review
A separately reviewed fixture is required before this question can become indexable. The page does not present an unreviewed output as an example.
Calculation basis and source
- Period
- 14 days
- Trigger
- the day the greenfields agreement is made (s 182(3): when signed by each employer and each relevant employee organisation)
- Counting
- The encoded calculator method must be independently documented before publication.
- Rollovers and holidays
- Holiday, closure and order treatment must be independently documented before publication.
This route remains in preparation until a pinpoint official source is recorded.
- NONE. Section 185(4) contains no extension power, in deliberate contrast to s 185(3)(b) which allows the FWC to extend the equivalent non-greenfields period where fair. This period is expressly non-extendable on the face of the provision. Flag prominently; do not offer an extension calculation.
- By s 185(6), s 185 does not apply to an agreement made under s 182(4) (the greenfields route where the notified negotiation period has ended); in that case the agreement is taken to be made when the approval application is made, so no separate 14-day period arises. Section 185A prescribes the accompanying material for a s 182(4) application.
