3. Industry-wide award - sets out the legally enforceable
minimum conditions employment (such as pay and
work hours) for all employees working in a particular
industry

4. A collective agreement is an agreement negotiated between
employees in groups (rather than as individuals) and their
employer about pay and working conditions. Employees may
be represented by their union.

5. Individual Contract - Is an agreement negotiated directly by
the employer and employee about pay and working
conditions. Australian workplace agreements (AWAs) are
individual contracts; however, legislation passed in 2008
states states that no new AWAs can be made. Individual
common law employment contracts are still permitted
