163: Restriction on Authority's power in relation to collective agreements

You could also call this:

“Limits on changing work agreements”

The Employment Relations Authority has some limits on what it can do with collective agreements. You need to know that the Authority cannot cancel or change a collective agreement, or any part of it, under section 162 or any other part of the Employment Relations Act 2000. This means that if you are part of a collective agreement, the Authority’s power to make changes to it is restricted, as stated in the Act, which you can learn more about by looking at section 162.
