Non-award employees
Some employees (such as professionals, senior management) may not be covered by any award or agreement.
Employees may enter into an employment contract with their employer and negotiate their own terms and conditions of employment.
However, contracts of employment must not provide for lesser entitlements than those contained in the Industrial Relations Act 1999 (PDF, 1.9 MB), such as annual leave, sick leave, long service leave, family leave and notice on dismissal from employment.
Further information is available for non-award employees regarding their entitlements and obligations.
