or\n\t(b)\taccept clothing products under an agreement from a relevant person if work has been performed on the goods by an outworker, unless the relevant person is registered under a relevant industrial instrument to give work out to be performed outside the relevant person's premises.\n22—Person making declarations under code taken to have authority\n\t(1)\tA person on whose behalf a declaration is made, or information has been provided, under this code, is taken to have authorised the making of the declaration or the provision of the information if the declaration or information is made or provided by—\n\t(a)\ta person who has the capacity to control the first‑mentioned person;

and\n\t(b)\tprovisions which impose obligations or liabilities on a party involved in the giving out of work, whether such provisions impose—\n\t(i)\tobligations requiring a party involved in the giving out of work to make or keep records of such work given out; or\n\t(ii)\tobligations requiring a party involved in the giving out of work to disclose any information about such work given out; or\n\t(iii)\tobligations prescribing any other conditions with which a party involved in the giving out of work must comply; or\n\t(iv)\tliabilities arising from obligations to provide entitlements to an outworker performing any work given out; and\n\t(c)\tprovisions which confer powers of entry and inspection on a representative of an employee association in relation to premises for a purpose connected with the giving out of work (including any purpose connected with outworkers); and\n\t(d)\tprovisions which confer powers to oversee or regulate the giving out of work on any body constituted pursuant to the Act or on any officer authorised pursuant to the Act.\n\t(3)\tSubject to subclause (4), a constitutional corporation which is involved in the giving out of work is required to comply with a provision of the Award having effect by force of subclause (1) as if the constitutional corporation were an employer (or other party) bound by and subject to the Award.\n\t(4)\tA constitutional corporation bound by and subject to an applicable industrial standard is required to comply with a provision of the Award having effect by force of subclause (3) if the constitutional corporation is involved in the giving out of work, except insofar as the applicable industrial standard—\n\t(a)\timposes on the constitutional corporation obligations and liabilities which are equivalent to the obligations and liabilities imposed by the provision of the Award; and\n\t(b)\tconfers on an outworker rights and entitlements which are equivalent to, or more generous than, the rights and entitlements conferred by the provision of the Award; and\n\t(c)\tconfers on a representative of an employee association powers of entry and inspection in relation to premises and documents (concerning the giving out of work), which powers are equivalent to the powers of entry and inspection (concerning the giving out of work) conferred on a representative of the employee association by the Award.\n\t(5)\tWhether an entitlement which would have been owed by the constitutional corporation under the applicable industrial standard in relation to a matter is more generous than the entitlement owed in relation to the corresponding matter under the provision of the Award having effect by force of subclause (3) is to be ascertained in accordance with the ordinary meaning of the term \"more generous\".\n\t(6)\tA constitutional corporation may, after the constitutional corporation has paid to the outworker concerned any part of the amount of an entitlement owed under an applicable industrial standard in respect of any matter relating to outworkers, deduct or set‑off the amount the constitutional corporation has paid to the outworker from any amount that the constitutional corporation owes to the outworker under a provision of the Award (in respect of the corresponding matter) having effect by force of subclause (3).\n\t(7)\tThis clause does not (except as provided by subclauses (4), (5) and (6)) limit or exclude any other rights of recovery of an outworker, or any obligation or liability of any person with respect to the giving out of work or with respect to the remuneration of such an outworker or in respect of the provision of rights or entitlements to such an outworker, whether or not arising under the Act or this code or any other law or an applicable industrial standard.\n\t(8)\tNothing in this clause limits the powers of entry and inspection of an official of an employee association for the purpose of investigating time books or wage records or workplaces or for the purpose of investigating non‑compliance with the Act or non‑compliance with the provisions of the Award having effect by force of subclause (3).\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSchedule 2—Repeal of Fair Work (Clothing Outworker Code of Practice) Regulations 2007\nThe Fair Work (Clothing Outworker Code of Practice) Regulations 2007 are repealed.\nLegislative history\nNotes\n\t•\tFor further information relating to the Act and subordinate legislation made under the Act see the Index of South Australian Statutes or www.legislation.sa.gov.au.\nPrincipal regulations\nYear\nNo\nReference\nCommencement\n2022\n61\nGazette 11.8.2022 p2503 \n1.9.2022: r 2\n","sortOrder":0}],"analysis":{"flash_summary_failed":{"failed":true,"reason":"A positive credit balance is required for all requests, including BYOK, so fallback providers remain available.
