Can an employee or employer change any aspect of a workforce or collective agreement?
Collective agreements can continue indefinitely and workforce agreements must be for a fixed term; the term must not be longer than five years (or up to 31 March 2005 for employees of children born or adopted between 15 December 1994 and 14 December 1999). Employers and employees can seek to re-negotiate the terms and conditions of a workforce or collective agreement. Whilst the agreement is in force, both employers and employees are bound by its terms provided it has been incorporated into the employees’ contracts of employment. Section4: The fallback scheme It will be preferable for a scheme to be agreed at local level. However, if this does not happen then the fallback scheme will apply.
