145 Industrial Court Rules 1997 SCHEDULE 2 (continued) Form 39 EMPLOYER FILING APPLICATION QUEENSLAND INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS COMMISSION QUEENSLAND WORKPLACE AGREEMENT (QWA) Workplace Relations Act 1997 108 PART 1—EMPLOYER DETAILS Introductory notes You are required to complete this form if you wish to file an individual or collective QWA or QWAs for consideration by an Enterprise Commissioner. The form is in two parts— Part 1 seeks information about the employer's business and the steps the employer took in making the QWA or QWAs— Part 2 seeks information about the employees covered by the QWA or QWAs, and the contents of the QWAs themselves. The Enterprise Commissioner will use the information in parts 1 and 2 of the form to help decide whether the Commissioner can approve the QWA or QWAs. Please refer to page 11 of the "Guide for Employers" for information on what the Enterprise Commissioner needs to be satisfied of in approving a QWA. Because the Enterprise Commissioner has to assess QWAs on an individual basis, you will need to fill in part 2 of the form for each employee covered by the QWA or QWAs. You can get additional copies of parts 1 or 2 of the Employer Filing Application form by ringing, or calling at any of the offices listed at the end of this form. Please note that you are required to sign an employer declaration which states, among other things, that the QWAs that you are filing comply with section 75 of the Workplace Relations Act 1997 . Section 75 of the Workplace Relations Act 1997 provides that— The employer must ensure the QWA includes the provisions about discrimination prescribed under a regulation. If the QWA does not in fact include the prescribed provisions about discrimination, the QWA is taken to include the provisions. The employer must ensure the QWA does not include any provisions that prohibit or restrict disclosure of details of the QWA by either party to another person. 108 Now see Acts Interpretation Act 1954, s 14H and Industrial Relations Act 1999.
146 Industrial Court Rules 1997 SCHEDULE 2 (continued) The employer must ensure that the QWA includes a dispute resolution procedure. If the QWA does not include a dispute resolution procedure, the QWA is taken to include the model dispute resolution procedure prescribed under a regulation. A dispute resolution procedure that is included in a QWA may confer powers on the Enterprise Commissioner to settle disputes between the parties to the QWA about the application or interpretation of the QWA. The Commissioner may exercise those powers. See pages 17–19 of the “Guide for Employers” for copies of the model anti-discrimination provision and the model dispute resolution procedure. 1 What is the legal or registered name of the employer which is filing this Queensland Workplace Agreement (QWA)?
