Div 13contains miscellaneous provisions relating to the National Employment Standards.

Division 13 contains miscellaneous provisions relating to the National Employment Standards. The National Employment Standards are minimum standards that apply to the employment of national system employees. Part 2‑1 (which deals with the core provisions for this Chapter) contains the obligation for employers to comply with the National Employment Standards (see section 44). The National Employment Standards also underpin what can be included in modern awards and enterprise agreements. Part 2‑1 provides that the National Employment Standards cannot be excluded by modern awards or enterprise agreements, and contains other provisions about the interaction between the National Employment Standards and modern awards or enterprise agreements (see sections 55 and 56). Divisions 2, 2A and 3 of Part 6‑3 extend the operation of the parental leave, paid family and domestic violence leave and notice of termination provisions of the National Employment Standards to employees not otherwise covered by those provisions. 60  Meanings of employee and employer Division 2—The National Employment Standards 61  The National Employment Standards are minimum standards applying to employment of employees  (1) This Part sets minimum standards that apply to the employment of employees which cannot be displaced, even if an enterprise agreement includes terms of the kind referred to in subsection 55(5).
