Certified Agreement

Midcoast Timber Centres has been working with the Department of Employment & Workplace Relations, and in the best interests of all employees and the company, the business has made the significant step to operate under the auspices of a 'Certified Agreement' .

A Certified Agreement is an agreement between staff and management which details workplace conditions and entitlements. It's different from an Award in that it only covers a single organization, whereas an Award focuses on a large number of organizations in any particular industry. It's also different from an individual contract in that it covers a group of employees.

The agreement will be unique to Midcoast Timber Centres and will reflect the company's specific requirements. The Certified Agreement will define the baseline of benefits and entitlements that staff enjoy whilst working at Midcoast Timber Centres.

It is important to note that the conditions and entitlements included in the Agreement will be, at the very least, equivalent with the prevailing Timber & Allied Industries Award, and will not disadvantage employees in any way.
