When is the deadline for employer declaration on an employee organisation's s 216db variation application?
The catalogue records a 14 days period from the day on which the employer was served with the employee organisation's declaration. 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 on which the employer was served with the employee organisation's declaration
- 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.
- Rule 7(1)-(2): dispensation or inconsistent order or direction of the FWC.
- A parallel 14-day employer declaration obligation exists in r 39(3) for supported bargaining agreement variations under s 216B. Check the specific rule for the variation pathway in issue (rr 38 to 43). Corrected on verification: the cross-reference to r 39(3) and s 216B is confirmed against the Fair Work Commission Rules 2024 (F2024L00379, made 25 March 2024, unamended and in force as at 29 July 2026), but the family of parallel 14-day declaration obligations is wider than the researched note suggested. Rules 38(3), 39(3), 40(3), 41(3), 42(3) and 43(3) and (5) each impose a 14-day declaration period, running in some cases from the day the variation is made and in others from the day the declarant was served with the other side's declaration. Read the specific rule for the pathway in issue: the trigger differs between them.
