Fair Work Amendment (Protecting Penalty and Overtime Rates) Bill 2025

Senator WATT (Queensland—Minister for the Environment and Water) (17:56): All the existing arrangements remain unchanged. Those who wish to pay their employees in line with the award will continue being able to do so. Those who wish to take a job that pays award wages and has award conditions will be able to do that.

Those who wish to do an enterprise bargaining agreement, with or without a union, can do so. So nothing changes in that respect.
