Thank you very much. The Workplace Authority Director then has to provide advice on ‘how the agreement could be varied to pass the fairness test (including by way of an undertaking)’. As a result, if you were provided advice as to how the agreement could be varied to pass the fairness test, it stands to reason that the unfairness originally must be pointed out and that the way to overcome that unfairness is by having other provisions in the agreement. So the parties would be told quite clearly why the agreement is deemed to be unfair.
