The Fair Work Commission approved a multi-enterprise agreement covering small retail businesses in Victoria (and similar agreements in NSW and Queensland). The agreement offered four different wage structures. The Commission initially had concerns that some employees might be worse off under certain wage options, particularly those working mainly weekends, casuals, and employees affected by dispute resolution costs or deduction clauses. The employers provided written promises (undertakings) to fix these problems, including guaranteeing no employee would be worse off, requiring written consent to change wage options, and removing problematic clauses. With these fixes in place, the agreement was approved.
