Section 207A — Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth)

(1) This section applies to a proposed variation of a multi‑enterprise agreement.

(2) An employer must not request under subsection 208(1) that employees approve the variation by voting for it unless:

(a) each employee organisation covered by the enterprise agreement has provided the employer with written agreement to the making of the request; or

(b) a voting request order permits the employer to make the request.

Note: Voting request orders can be made where failure to provide written agreement to the making of a request is unreasonable in the circumstances (see section 240B).
