Enterprise Agreement (EA)

An Enterprise Agreement (EA) is a formal contract between an employer and employees that outlines the terms and conditions of employment, including wages, working hours, and workplace rights. It’s designed to reflect the unique needs of a business and its workforce, often negotiated through employee representatives. EAs aim to create a fair and productive work environment by establishing clear expectations and benefits. They can provide advantages over standard awards or agreements by allowing more tailored arrangements that suit both the employer's business goals and the employees' needs.
