What is an enterprise agreement?
Generally speaking, an enterprise agreement is between one or more national system employers and their employees, as specified in the agreement. Enterprise agreements are negotiated by the parties through collective bargaining in good faith, primarily at the enterprise level. Under the Fair Work Act 2009, an enterprise can mean any kind of business, activity, project or undertaking.
EBAs in Workbench
Enterprise Bargaining Agreements (EBA’s) provide the rules for the conversion of the number of hours worked by an Employee into the number of hours paid plus allowances, and the associated Standard Rate for that paid time or allowance per Employee. The rules applied in EBA Profiles can be simple or complicated, often resulting in situations where there is an inevitable manual input to the system for some uncommon combinations and requirements. Workbench has the ability to group multiple profiles into EBA Schemes, which are then applied on a job-by-job basis.

The Time and Allowances captured in Workbench are costed to the Job on a Standard Cost basis. This costing takes place in real time for an entered timesheet line. Note that this costing is NOT typically the rate that the Employee is paid per hour. This Standard Costing is normally a composite cost comprised of a wage band cost plus some other recoveries for holiday pay, sick pay, overhead, etc. This subject is detailed elsewhere in the Workbench documentation under Employee Classes.
