‘Zombie agreements’ to sunset next week

On 7 December 2023, certain agreements made before 2010 that are still in operation (‘zombie agreements’) will automatically terminate (‘sunset’) unless an application is made to the Fair Work Commission before 7 December 2023 to extend their operation. 

It is important for you to know if this affects you. 

If a ‘zombie agreement’ sunsets, the legal minimum pay and conditions for employees that were covered by that agreement are very likely to change.
