WORKPLACE RELATIONS ACT 1996 - SECT 588

Transmitted agreement

             (1)  This section applies if subsection 585(1) applies to a collective agreement (the transmitted collective agreement ).

Modified operation of subsection 392(2)

             (2)  The transmitted collective agreement cannot be terminated under subsection 392(2) during the transmission period (even if the transmitted collective agreement has passed its nominal expiry date).

Special rule for transmitted workplace determination

             (4)  If the transmitted collective agreement is a workplace determination, subsection 506(3) ceases to apply to the transmitted collective agreement at the time of transmission.

Note 1:       Subsection 506(1) provides that this Act generally applies to a workplace determination as if it were a collective agreement.

Note 2:       Subsection 506(3) would otherwise prevent the transmitted workplace determination from being terminated under Subdivision B of Division 9 of Part 8 before it had passed its nominal expiry date.
