When is the deadline for application for approval of an enterprise agreement (non-greenfields, form f16)?

The catalogue records a 14 days period from the day the agreement is made (s 182). This draft page remains free only until its source, worked example and limits are reviewed.

Source link required
This page is in preparation. It does not offer an automated deadline or a paid record until the missing source or calculator evidence is complete.

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 agreement is made (s 182)
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.

  • Section 185(3)(b): the FWC may allow a further period if in all the circumstances it considers it FAIR to extend the period. This is a materially lower threshold than the 'exceptional circumstances' test that governs dismissal applications. Never compute.
  • The agreement is 'made' under s 182: for a single-enterprise agreement that is not a greenfields agreement, when a majority of employees who cast a valid vote approve it (s 182(1)); for a multi-enterprise agreement, immediately after the end of the voting process (s 182(2)); for a greenfields agreement under s 182(3), when signed by each employer and each relevant employee organisation.
