Research Topic: Interpreting and Comparing an Award and Enterprise Agreement of a chosen business/employer. Assessment 3 is a Research Project that involves researching an organisation and its relevant industrial instruments (award and enterprise agreement). Students are to choose one business/employer from a selection of industries/sectors provided on Moodle. Once the business/employer is chosen, the project will require students to:
1) compare certain provisions and conditions between the award and enterprise agreement for that business – and identify the benefits for employers and employees.
2) interpret and apply certain provisions to a worker’s scenario/roster to determine their weekly pay
3) identify one interesting/innovative provision within the enterprise agreement and discuss/analyse it
4) compare relevant provisions between the Australian award and the Labour Law of the UAE, where applicable, and highlight the differences and similarities between the two labour laws.
5) identify, discuss, and analyse a key employment relations issue(s) confronting this business in today’s environment in Australia and/or the UAE. Link this issue with a relevant ER theory/school of thought/taxonomy. Minimum number of academic/scholarly references to be used for this assessment: 6
