There are occasions when it is necessary to determine whether an employee’s employment is covered by an enterprise agreement or modern award. For example an employee whose income exceeds the high income threshold does not qualify for protection from unfair dismissal unless one of those instruments applies to his or her employment.
Enterprise agreements must contain a dispute settlement procedure which is a very handy method for an employee to invoke a workplace dispute resolution mechanism in a process which has statutory standing and also constitutes the unequivocal exercise of a workplace right which in itself is protected by the general protections of the Fair Work Act.
